MultithreadedHashing

I used multithreading to find unique and deterministic (i.e. replicable) hash values for specified input files (placed in the same directory as the project). I used Mutex locks to guarantee consistency of results (determinism).

Custom number of threads and other input

The program take the file name and the number of threads as input. Run using MTHashing [filename] [numberOfThreads].

Use of a Binary Tree

I used a binary hash tree to find hash values for each block and then combine and rehash these recursively until a single hash value is created for the final file.
