wyhash fast portable non-cryptographic hashing algorithm

crates.io Docs Build Status Coverage Status

Rust implementation of the wyhash algorithm by Wang Yi.

The hashing algorithm passes SMHasher and the random number generator passes BigCrush and practrand. As of now it is the fastest algorithm in the SMHasher benchmark (faster than t1ha and XXH3). See here.

Furthermore, this algorithm is solid, simple, portable (does not need hardware support, can be used in no_std environments) and has no dependencies (except the traits from rand_core).

The generated hashes are equal (see tests) as of the version stated here although the speed varies (PRs are welcome).

Usage

use wyhash::WyHash;
use std::hash::Hasher;

fn main() {
  let mut hasher = WyHash::with_seed(3);
  hasher.write(&[0, 1, 2]);
  assert_eq!(0xcc24_2106_e707_6a48, hasher.finish());
}

See further examples of the hasher and RNG in the documentation.
