Swift-CRC32

This package implements the crc32c algorithm for error detection.

If running on an Intel CPU that supports the SSE 4.2 instruction set, the CRC calculation is hardware accelerated.

Usage

// Create a CRC generator
var crc = CRC32C()

// Feed in data
crc.update([0x01, 0x02, 0x03])

// Finalize
crc.finalize()

// Get the result
crc.value

Swift Package Manager

To use this package in a SPM based project, add

.package(url: "https://github.com/tbartelmess/swift-crc32c.git", from: "0.1.0")

to your package.json.

Performance

When using an Intel CPU with a SSE 4.2 instruction set, the specialized CRC instruction is used. On other CPUs the calculation falls back to a generic software implemenation.

With SSE 4.2 you can expect a speedup of about 5x.
