Rapid CRC

The fastest crc32 and crc32c implemenations on npm

Install

npm install rapid-crc

Usage

const rapidCrc = require('rapid-crc')
 
const crc1 = rapidCrc.crc32(Buffer.from('123'))
// -> 2297840959
const crc2 = rapidCrc.crc32c(Buffer.from('123'))
// -> 2413851447

Details

crc32

Uses slice-by-32 (based on slice-by-8 by intel and slice-by-16 by stehpan brumme). Increasing the size of the lookup to 32 gave the best performance on my machine (2015 macbook pro, i5, 8GB), by 64 > was slower. I think this is due to the amount of data being loaded per cache-line.

crc32c (Castagnoli)

Uses SSE4.2.
