title: 'FastHamming: Fast Computation of Pairwise Hamming Distances'
version: '1.2'
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.FastHamming
abstract: Pairwise Hamming distances are computed between the rows of a binary (0/1)
  matrix using highly optimized 'C' code. The input is an integer matrix where each
  row represents a binary feature vector and returns a symmetric integer matrix of
  pairwise distances. Internally, rows are bit-packed into 64-bit words for fast XOR-based
  comparisons, with hardware-accelerated popcount operations to count differences.
  'OpenMP' parallelization ensures efficient performance for large matrices.
