<h2>
Hash Function</h2>
Zoltan provides a hash function for global and local IDs. The hash function
computes a non-negative integer value in a certain range<i> </i>from an
ID.
<blockquote><b><a href="#Zoltan_Hash">Zoltan_Hash</a></b>&nbsp; : hash a global
or local ID into non-negative integers</blockquote>

<hr>
<b>Zoltan_Hash </b>computes a hash value for a global or local ID. Note
that this hash function has been optimized for 32-bit integer systems,
but should&nbsp; work on any machine. The current implementation uses a
simple multiplicative hash function based on Don Knuth's golden ratio method;
