SipHash (C#)

SipHash PRF implementation in C#, heavily optimized towards speed. This code is in public domain, free for anyone to use.

SipHash is a very fast pseudo-random function, producing 64-bit output using 128-bit key. SipHash is very fast on 64-bit CPUs.

Benchmarks

Below are the results of a benchmark (processing 10 GiB in 4 KiB chunks) I ran on laptop i7 3630QM (Turbo Boost enabled) on Win8.1:

Runtime Mode Speed
.NET 4.6.1 64 bit 1 226 MiB/s
.NET 4.6.1 32 bit 324 MiB/s
.NET Core RC 2 64 bit 1 940 MiB/s
.NET Core RC 2 32 bit 324 MiB/s

Please note that 64-bit .NET Core Preview 2 JIT supports bit rotation idioms, while the 32-bit .NET Core JIT and the full .NET framework JITs still translate rotations into a series of SHIFTs, MOV and OR instructions (which is the reason for massive performance difference).
