fast-crc32c NPM version Build Status Dependency Status Coverage Status

fast-crc32c is a CRC-32C algorithm implementation for node.js, which uses hardware acceleration (via voxer/sse4_crc32 by Anand Suresh), and fallback to software implementation when hardware acceleration fails.

Performance

CRC-32C is faster then CRC-32, which could take advantage of full CPU operand register width (64bit) instead of CRC-32's 8bit.

When using hardware acceleration, CRC-32C is about 7x ~ 9x faster than software implemented CRC-32C.

Benchmark

The 3 tested implementations are:

  • sse4_crc32c Hardware accelerated CRC-32C from sse4_crc32
  • js_crc32c Javascript implemented CRC-32C
  • js_crc32 Javascript implemented CRC-32 from buffer-crc32
