More or less posting on this sub as the DIT sub is dead, and I’ve seen some checksum posts in this sub, so thought this sub might be appropriate for a specific technical question regarding file transfers and checksum.
Building a DIT kit for live grading and media management, and I am looking to buy a system (probably a mac mini) specifically for dumping files using Shotput. From my reading, I’m seeing that CPU and RAM performance has an effect on checksum speeds, but I was struggling to see that claim quantified.
If CPU actually has a significant effect on speeds, is there any resource out there that benchmarks and compares different CPUs/core counts/threads/clock speeds with checksum durations? Don’t want to buy a system for it to be utter garbage compared to something else because a single spec is minutely different. I’ve mostly only had to use xxHash, but some clients required MD5, which I know is slower and is impacted by the CPU speeds more.
Thanks!
