Request #73277 crc32() not using CPU capabilities
Submitted: 2016-10-09 16:45 UTC Modified: 2021-03-03 13:37 UTC
From: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Assigned:
Status: Open Package: Performance problem
PHP Version: 7.0.11 OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2016-10-09 16:45 UTC] spam2 at rhsoft dot net
Description:
------------
for short messages crc32 seems to be the fastest way but for long messages like a whole page content for a ETAG-HTTP-Header it's the slowest

md5:   0.48954606056213
sha1:  0.57872104644775
crc32: 0.64182901382446

that should not be the case on modern Intel CPUs like SnadyBrdige or newer which support a accelerated instruction



Test script:
---------------
$test_content = file_get_contents('global.inc.php', true);

echo '<strong>md5: </strong>' . md5($test_content) . MY_LE;
$profiler->reset();
for($x=1;$x<5000;$x++)
{
 $rw = md5($test_content);
}
echo $profiler->get() . '<br /><br />' .  MY_LE;

echo '<strong>sha1: </strong>' . sha1($test_content) . MY_LE;
$profiler->reset();
for($x=1;$x<5000;$x++)
{
 $rw = sha1($test_content);
}
echo $profiler->get() . '<br /><br />' .  MY_LE;

echo '<strong>crc32: </strong>' . abs(crc32($test_content)) . MY_LE;
$profiler->reset();
for($x=1;$x<5000;$x++)
{
 $rw = crc32($test_content);
}
echo $profiler->get() . '<br /><br />' .  MY_LE;

The crc32 implementation has been improved since PHP 7.0.11.  Is
it good for you now?

md4:         0.18111

sha1:        0.40015
crc32:       0.47416

still the slowest

Thanks for checking!  I presume this has been measures with PHP 8.0?

7.4.15-sandybridge-fc33

i gave up PHP8 a while ago since it don't build with PGO here (segfault in mod_php as soon as it's loaded) and the nonsense of deprecate zip-functions without 1:1 replacement as well as https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79350 don't make it easier either in an environment treating notices/warnings as fatal errors
