title: Fast CRC algorithm?
body: <p>I want to create a 32-bit number out of an ASCII-string. CRC32 algorithm is exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't use it because the table it requires is way too huge (it is for an embedded system where resources are VERY rare).</p>
  <p>So: any suggestions for a fast and slim CRC algorithm? It does not matter when collisions are a bit more probable than with the original CRC32.</p>
