+# xxhash
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/cespare/xxhash?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/cespare/xxhash)
+
+xxhash is a Go implementation of the 64-bit
+[xxHash](http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/) algorithm, XXH64. This is a
+high-quality hashing algorithm that is much faster than anything in the Go
+standard library.
+
+The API is very small, taking its cue from the other hashing packages in the
+standard library:
+
+    $ go doc github.com/cespare/xxhash                                                                                                                                                                                              !
+    package xxhash // import "github.com/cespare/xxhash"
+
+    Package xxhash implements the 64-bit variant of xxHash (XXH64) as described
+    at http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/.
+
+    func New() hash.Hash64
+    func Sum64(b []byte) uint64
+    func Sum64String(s string) uint64
+
+This implementation provides a fast pure-Go implementation and an even faster
+assembly implementation for amd64.
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+Here are some quick benchmarks comparing the pure-Go and assembly
+implementations of Sum64 against another popular Go XXH64 implementation,
+[github.com/OneOfOne/xxhash](https://github.com/OneOfOne/xxhash):
+
+| input size | OneOfOne | cespare (purego) | cespare |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 5 B   |  416 MB/s | 720 MB/s |  872 MB/s  |
+| 100 B | 3980 MB/s | 5013 MB/s | 5252 MB/s  |
+| 4 KB  | 12727 MB/s | 12999 MB/s | 13026 MB/s |
+| 10 MB | 9879 MB/s | 10775 MB/s | 10913 MB/s  |
+
+These numbers were generated with:
+
+```
+$ go test -benchtime 10s -bench '/OneOfOne,'
+$ go test -tags purego -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,'
+$ go test -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,'
+```
