Meta's Yann Collet of Zstd fame is rounding out 2024 by releasing xxHash 0.8.3 as the newest update to this extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm. The xxhsum tool will now automatically detect and employ the best available vector extension for the given CPU at run-time whether it's SSE or one of the AVX levels. With xxHash 0.8.3 there is also now LoongArch SX SIMD support as well as validated builds for AIX and SPARC processors as part of the extended platform coverage.
