aws-checksums

brew install aws-checksums v0.2.10 Apache-2.0

C library providing hardware-accelerated CRC32/CRC32c checksums with software fallback.

Why you might care

Build dependency for AWS SDK libraries that need fast, reliable checksum computation. Leverages CPU-level acceleration (SSE, AVX, ARM NEON) when available, falling back to optimized C code on older hardware. Used internally by aws-sdk-cpp and similar AWS client libraries.
