Show HN: Compute polynomials twice as fast

https://thomasahle.com/fast-polynomials/
18•thomasahle•17h ago
A few years ago my coauthor and I was wondering if we could reduce the number of multiplications used for hashing algorithms. We had a construction and a 100 page proof, but we were not 100% sure it was correct. Now we have a full Lean proof, so we decided to publish it.

I made this website to make it easy for anyone how has polynomials to evaluate to see how it would be done using our method, as well as a number of previous approaches by Knuth and others.

I guess it’s not faster than using a table for CRC8?

Would this be applicable to fast hashes like WyHash and xxh3 or are those not using polynomials? Is this mainly for faster cryptographic hashes?
