In the past I have been using a standard algorithm for error checking communication of data between devices. The cyclic redundancy check algorithm, CRC-16 was implemented with a 256 byte lookup table, or more complex and slow calculations. Recently I was reading about a shorter, quicker algorithm based on two 16 word tables.
