You’ll be given from 6pm until midnight to create the best project you can based on a surprise theme to be revealed on the night. This event is being run collaboratively with the Oxford Women in Computer Science Society, so come along to meet some new faces and maybe win a prize!

Bloomberg - Hashing Uncovered

13:00, Tuesday, Week 4

What is it about?

One of our Bloomberg Engineers, Dietmar Kuhl will be uncovering everything Hashing.

Hashing values is an important technique for efficient associative containers. It has multiple independent dimensions of considerations.

None of these considerations are generally well understood. This presentation scratches the surface of the following areas:

• Using hash functions for associative containers.
• Hashing byte sequences into hash values and assessing the quality of hash functions.
• Extracting byte sequences from values and hashing the resulting byte sequences.
• Things to consider for a default hashing function
