What are the application scenarios of MultiHash

Hi, I have a question. What are the application scenarios of MultiHash? or What apps are using MultiHash?

Multihash is intended for when high throughput is required but the multi-buffer interface is difficult to integrate. It gets roughly the throughput of multi-buffer hashing but with a single-buffer, synchronous interface. Downside is it requires large blocks ~1K and is not a standard. Dedup is a common app.
