• Less Hashing, Same Performance: Building a Better Bloom Filter – A standard technique from the hashing literature is to use<br /> two hash functions h1(x) and h2(x) to simulate additional hash functions<br /> of the form gi(x) = h1(x) + ih2(x). We demonstrate that this technique<br /> can be usefully applied to Bloom filters and related data structures.<br /> Specifically, only two hash functions are necessary to effectively implement<br /> a Bloom filter without any loss in the asymptotic false positive<br /> probability. This leads to less computation and potentially less need for<br /> randomness in practice.
