using hashcat to generate file-checksums

it's not the intended purpose of hashcat, but can it (or any of its tools) be used to generate checksums of files, leveraging gpu? Preferably sha256 or higher.

My guess is no, but I'd love to be wrong on this one.

I didn't find the answer on the forums, wiki or faq, nor when trying the software itself.
I am looking for accelerating this process, and disk-IO doesn't seem to be the bottleneck.

Thanks for any input
