Hashing strings (v23)

Revision 23 of this benchmark created by Miha Kadunc on

Description

Looking for the fastest hash function to get a unique id of a string.

Setup

function bitwise(str){
        var hash = 0, len = str.length
        if (len == 0) return hash;
        for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            char = str.charCodeAt(i);
            hash = ((hash<<5)-hash)+char;
        }
        return hash;
    }
    
    function numbers(str) {
        var res = 0,i=(str && str.length)?str.length:0;
        while(i--) { res = res * 31 + str.charCodeAt(i); }
        return res;
    }
    
    function bitwiseconv(str){
        var hash = 0, len = str.length
        if (len == 0) return hash;
        for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            hash = ((hash<<5)-hash)+str.charCodeAt(i);
            hash = hash & hash; // Convert to 32bit integer
        }
        return hash;
    }
    
    function numbersconv(str) {
        var hash = 0,i=(str && str.length)?str.length:0;
        while(i--) { hash = (hash * 31 + str.charCodeAt(i)) | 0; }
        return hash;
    }
    
    function bitwiseReduce(str){
        return str.split("").reduce(function(a,b)
            {a=((a<<5)-a)+b.charCodeAt(0);return a&a}
        ,0);              
    }
