Abstract
Device-specific chunked hash size tuning to maximize synchronization throughput is described. A synchronization client application or similar program may employ hashing to detect changes to content of remotely stored files and synchronize those (as opposed to synchronizing all files, for example). Instead of using static hash chunk sizes for all client applications of a cloud storage service, the synchronization client application may determine the size of hash buffer by baselining throughput of hashing on each synchronization device and finding the number of bytes hashed in a given amount of time. Thus, hash chunk size may be optimized on a machine by machine basis.
