SMHasher is a C++ test suite that evaluates the distribution, collision, and performance properties of non-cryptographic hash functions. It is also the home of the MurmurHash family of hash functions, including MurmurHash3.

Use cases

  • test the quality of a non-cryptographic hash function
  • benchmark hash function speed and collision rates
  • find flaws in popular hash functions
  • get a fast general-purpose hash like MurmurHash3
  • compare 32-bit and 128-bit hash implementations

When to choose

  • you need to validate or benchmark a non-cryptographic hash function
  • you want a well-tested general-purpose hash like MurmurHash3 for hash tables or checksums

When to avoid

  • you need a cryptographic or secure hash function
  • you need a maintained library with a formal license for the test suite itself
