For example (particularly) CityHash, Jenkins, Murmur3, and Spooky. They can be a nice performance boost for situations where you need to use lots of hashes and a cryptographic hash isn't needed. Obviously you can just use sha for most things you could use a non-crypto hash for, but it'd still be nice to have them available, especially with the rise of 'big-data' type applications. For reference, http://blog.aggregateknowledge.com/2012/02/02/choosing-a-good-hash-function-part-3/ talks about selection, use case and comparisons, which might be interesting. Test script: --------------- Test script for something that doesn't exist doesn't make sense.
