- Method Detail
  - calculate
```
long calculate(ServiceSpecification specification)
```
    Calculates the checksum for the provided specification. Throws a runtime exception if the calculation fails, e.g. the specification language is not supported.
    
    Parameters:
    
    specification - The performance specification.
  - identify
```
String identify()
```
    Returns:
    
    The unique identifier for this algorithm.
  - update
```
void update(ServiceSpecification specification)
```
    Updates the checksum of the provided specification. Throws a runtime exception if the calculation fails, e.g. the specification language is not supported.
    
    Parameters:
    
    specification - The performance specification.
