Description

FastFileCheck is a high-performance, multithreaded file integrity checker for Linux. Designed for speed and efficiency, it utilizes parallel processing and a lightweight database to quickly hash and verify large volumes of files, ensuring their integrity over time.

Goals

  • Release v1.0.0

Design overwiew:

  • Main thread (producer): traverses directories and feeds the queue (one thread is more than enough for most use cases)
  • Dedicated consumer thread: manages queue and distributes work to threadpool
  • Worker threads: compute hashes in parallel

This separation of concerns is efficient because:

  • Directory traversal is I/O bound and works well in a single thread
  • Queue management is centralized, preventing race conditions
  • Hash computation is CPU-intensive and properly parallelized

Looking for hackers with the skills:
