Editing Fowler–Noll–Vo hash function (section)

{{Short description|Non-cryptographic hash function}}
'''Fowler–Noll–Vo''' (or '''FNV''') is a [[non-cryptographic hash function]] created by Glenn Fowler, [[Landon Curt Noll]], and Kiem-Phong Vo<!-- Võ Kiềm Phong -->.

The basis of the FNV hash algorithm was taken from an idea sent as reviewer comments to the [[POSIX|IEEE POSIX P1003.2]] committee by Glenn Fowler and Phong Vo in 1991. In a subsequent ballot round, Landon Curt Noll improved on their algorithm. In an email message to Noll, they named it the ''Fowler/Noll/Vo'' or FNV hash.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv/index.html#history|title=FNV Hash - FNV hash history|website=www.isthe.com}}</ref>
