Hashing strings (v33)

Revision 33 of this benchmark created on


Description

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

Setup

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