sha256-simd
Accelerate SHA256 computations in pure Go using AVX512, SHA Extensions for x86 and ARM64 for ARM. On AVX512 it provides an up to 8x improvement (over 3 GB/s per core). SHA Extensions give a performance boost of close to 4x over native. (by minio)

The Curious Case of MD5
BLAKE3 is faster than hardware accelerated SHA-2 because the tree mode used in BLAKE3 allows hashing parts of a single message in parallel (with SHA-2, parts of a single message have to be hashed one after another, and parallelism is only used in workloads where you process multiple messages at the same time).

Can I concatenate multiple non-crypto hash functions to reduce collision?
SHA256 is high quality but typically a bit slower. Next Go version will have faster SHA256 on some amd64 CPUs - until then you can try sha256-simd which offers the same.

I need to find a custom hexadecimal string that when encrypted starts with a certain specific hexadecimal string(77656e6f7469 in our case). I tried randomly generating strings encrpyting them and checking them, realized it would take too much time. Any help?
I am not sure, if you can achieve a reasonable speed with Python though. You probably have to use a compiled language or run it on GPU. I found this very fast implemenation in Go which uses special CPU instructions (the AVX2 or SHA extensionsm depending on your CPU model) to speed up the calculation: https://github.com/minio/sha256-simd

Prerequisites for an Assembly book
I couldn't read that book totally. But why not follow 0xAX's guide? The examples are on NASM, too.
-
How do I get started?
You can use nasm. Setup WSL2 if you want to follow 0xAX's examples
