I derived two hash-algorithms from FNV32/64 and CRC64 that don't yield
the same results, and don't provide the opportunity for error-correction
for CRC, but which have the same equal distribution and are much more
performant on modern OoO-CPUS. How did I do that ?

These are the results on my Linux Ryzen 7 1800X:

fnv streamed 32: : 0.964425 GB/s
fnv blocked 32: : 1.96624 GB/s 104%
fnv streamed 64: : 0.939418 GB/s
fnv blocked 64: : 3.11791 GB/s 232%
crc64: : 0.478093 GB/s
crc64 blocked: : 2.39144 GB/s 400%

I don't know.

Btw, if you can come up with a really fast SHA2 impl, I would be
interested because of my experimental HMAC cipher. I have a C version:

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.c/c/a53VxN8cwkY/m/XKl1-0a8DAAJ

https://pastebin.com/raw/feUnA3kP

Also, I put it up online using a rather inefficient, but working SHA2
lib. I say inefficient because it does not provide an update method.

SHA* is completely different and can't be improved how I did it.

Dunno, those hashing algos work much better if there is support
from hardware. But, of course faster, better :P

Eeeh, I'm using also a table as you can see from above.

There are only special SSE-instrucions for CRC32, but not for CRC64.

I won't check this ASM-code. An I don't know why people use ASM.
C / C++ and intrinsics usually result in better code.

If you want to be hacker you have to program in ASM
(without debugger :) )
ASM code is most efficient always and works as tested without
surprises :P
C/C++ you can use after ypou master ASM :P
IMO :P

ASM code can be faster in rare cases when you know everyting about
your OoO-CPU, but in most cases the compiler generates better code.
I've seen code from clang where you might think: there would be no
ASM-programmer that knows all of these optimization-tricks.

Humans tend to write Asm that is readable. Compilers generate
Asm that's often not readbale for performance reasons.

Inlining makes bloat - but is usually more performant.
Loop-unrolling of small loops makes bloat - but is usually
more performant.

> Optimize in iterations :P

Hand-written asm is usually slower because there are only a small
number of asm-writers that know all the optimizaztion-tricks that
compilers have learned for decades. F.e. the code of clang 12 is
meanwhile somewhat faster than that of gcc 11. I think in five
years absoutely no asm writer can beat a compiler.

In this case the asm code is supplied by Intel.

I bet they qualify for "you know everything about your OoO-CPU". :-)

Well, kind of. Intel as a whole probably knows most of what there is to
know about Intel processors. But Intel does not write code - people
working at (or for) Intel write code, and there is absolutely no
guarantee that the person or people who wrote the code know all about
all of Intel's processors - never mind non-Intel x86 processors, or
non-x86 processors, or any other device. At best, you can probably be
quite confident that the code is close to optimal if you run it on the
same processor the assembly author used.

How well it will run on the dozen other current Intel processor
variations is another matter (by "dozen", I am ignoring devices that
differ only in clock speed or core count, and ignoring older devices).
How well it will run on AMD processors is also another matter.

You write these routines in C (or C++), and you tune the optimisation.
You compile with "-fmarch=native", or whatever flag your compiler has to
get the fastest code for your particular processor. You use compiler
features for multi-versioning for target-specific optimisations, so that
the compiler generates versions for different SIMD and other instruction
set extensions, and picks the best version for the real cpu when the
code starts up. You use inline assembly or intrinsics for specific
target versions if you are /sure/ your assembly works faster, and have
measured it.

General use of assembly language is something that comes /way/ down on
the list when you are trying to get fast implementation of code.

Compiler at best can produce generic optimistic code that does not stand
a chance against dedicated human :P
ONly reason we do not program in assembler is because lerning curve is
steep :P

It was easy to beat a compiler before 10 years, but today not anymore.
And in five years it will be almost impossible.

Humans wrote AlphaZero. Good luck beating it at chess however.

Its not what it does that matters, its how it does it.

Not really. Both are complex problems.

Nice! I failed to notice SHA-384. I like that hash for some reasons.
However, I did notice SHA3, which means they should have it.
