Support hashing on CPU

Open bzz opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Not everyone has GPUs and in some cases hashing time may not be a bottleneck, so it would be nice to have a mode that does not require CUDA and firends.

AFAIK to have such option, alongside with high-performance GPU one would require small changes in hasher.py to have an option of using something like https://github.com/ekzhu/datasketch instead of libMHCUDA.

@bzz it seems to be out of the research scope. We are going to hash the same data hundreds and thousands of times to find the best metaparameters. So this is a Gemini feature to me.
