[Hashing Home][Home]
While hashing methods such as MD5 and SHA-1 use cryto methods, the Murmur and FNV hashes uses a non-cryptographic hash function. The Murmur hash, designed by Austin Appleby, uses a non-cryptographic hash function. This can be used for general hash-based lookups. It has a good performance compared with other hashing methods, and generally provide a good balance between performance and CPU utilization. Also it performs well in terms of hash collisions. [Theory]
