Fyi, blake3 was released in 2019 and should probably be used over blake2 unless you have some strong reason not to. It's basically a reimplementation of blake2 with performance tweaks.

If you need a non cryptographic hash, the xxhash family is crazy fast.

What about "my library of choice doesn't support blake3 yet"? Is the improvement large enough to go out of your way to upgrade?

It's Google. Their library of choice supports whatever the hell they want.

That reason could well be that the hardware doesn't support it, or that it is too slow.

With that said, if the hardware cannot what is required, and SoM chips are required, then... Maybe better hardware should be used.
