 # cpp-consistent-hashing-algorithms
-C++ implementations and benchmark tools for MementoHash and AnchorHash
+This project collects C++ implementations and benchmarking tools of two of the most prominent consistent hashing algorithms for non-peer-to-peer contexts.
+
+The implemented algorithms are:
+* [2020] __anchor hash__ by [Gal Mendelson et al.](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.09674.pdf), using the implementation found on [Github](https://github.com/anchorhash/cpp-anchorhash)
+* [2023] __memento hash__ by [M. Coluzzi et al.](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.09783.pdf)
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+The project includes a two benchmarking tools **speed_test** and **balance**, derived from the same tools provided by [Anchorhash](https://github.com/anchorhash/cpp-anchorhash)
+
+**speed_test** also records **heap allocations** and the maximum allocated heap space.
+
+## Java implementation
+For a Java implementation of these and additional algorithms please refer to [this repository](https://github.com/SUPSI-DTI-ISIN/java-consistent-hashing-algorithms)
