Abstract
This disclosure includes an improvement to hashing methods, which can help achieve faster load balancing of computing resources (e.g., processors, storage systems, web servers or other computer systems, etc.) This improvement may be particularly beneficial when a quantity of the available resources changes. Such hashing methods may include assigning a data object associated with a key to a particular computing resource of the available computing resources by using two auxiliary functions that work together to uniformly distribute data objects across available computing resources and reduce an amount of time to assign the data object to the particular computing resource.
