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.
