fast-crc32c
Advanced tools
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.
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.
The 3 tested implementations are:
