SHA-1 prototype¶

directory : source:/prototypes/01_SHA1

Goals¶

• Compute the SHA-1 of each part of a given file.
• Compute the SHA-1 of a stream.
• Find the fastest way to compute SHA1, should be at least 40 MB/s.

Speed measures¶

file : 01.wmv : 17'639'245 byte ~ 17Mo (buffered)
Each measurement is pre-runned once to put the file in cache.

sha1sum from GNU coreutils (Reference)¶

speed : 57 MB/s
