BLAKE3 VS meow_hash

> might be easier with a public domain license instead of the current ones

There reference implementation is public domain (CC0) or at your choice Apache 2.0

Fyi, blake3 was released in 2019 and should probably be used over blake2 unless you have some strong reason not to. It's basically a reimplementation of blake2 with performance tweaks.

Many people will argue that today's compilers are so smart/optimized that you'd be a fool to try to outsmart the compiler with asm. I'm not 1 of them, but I know some. IMO it's all a bunch of bullshit, there's a goddamn reason all the cryptocurrency mining CPU/GPU code is all hand-written asm. there's a reason blake3 is written in asm ( https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/c/blake3_sse41_x86-64_windows_msvc.asm ) - but the thing is, 99.99% of the time, life is too short to outsmart the compiler (unless you're Alexander Yee)

I have been trying to optimize my code to create a fast hashing function to create and check b3 file integrity but b3sum is way way faster than my aproach, i have been trying to modify my code acordingly to https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/b3sum/src/main.rs with no luck, so if anyone can give me some tips/clues on how to achieve better speeds it would be incredible. Thx!!

BLAKE3 might be faster than KangarooTwelve and is also an XOF. It doesn't have the benefit of getting a working RFC draft proposal however.

You're saying the hash speed is 133 kB/s? That's extremely slow, for example BLAKE3 achieves 6.8 GB/s which is over 50000 times faster. Nobody wants to use such a slow hash function.

Try this one if you want a smaller, and particularly interesting crate: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3

blake3 is a cryptographic hashing function, which is used during plotting's "forward propagation" step

BLAKE3 claims to be faster and more secure than both MD5 and SHA1.

I'm late on the reply but I was using xxhash for something similar, but found that Meow hash was faster for me. Feel free to benchmark, since I'm sure it could vary depending on CPU architecture.

for everyone who doesn't think highly of Casey Muratori (or at least the way he conducts himself online), the author of Meow Hash, took the criticism quite graciously:

Is a standardized hashing algorithm required? SHA256 takes several CPU cycle per byte, but there are several hashing algorithm utilizing AES-NI that gives them 15-16 bytes per cycles, which translates to tens of gigabytes per second on modern CPU. At least one of them has been ported to .NET Core, and from what I see properly calls AES primitives.

MeowHash is the fastest non-cryptographic hash available online, and if it were used in CPython, which performs a hash for every fundamental operation in the language, then Python would be much faster.

Meow hash claims 3-4x faster hashing over this, still passes smhasher, and is a few years old. https://mollyrocket.com/meowhash

Have you seen the meow hash implementation? Would that be suitable for this ?
