StringZilla
10x faster string search, split, sort, and shuffle for long strings
...StringZilla uses a heuristic so simple it's almost stupid... but it works. It matches the first few letters of words with hyper-scalar code to achieve memcpy speeds. The implementation fits into a single C 99 header file and uses different SIMD flavors and SWAR on older platforms. The Str is designed to replace long Python str strings and wrap our C-level API. On the other hand, the File memory-maps a file from persistent memory without loading its copy into RAM. The contents of that file would remain immutable, and the mapping can be shared by multiple Python processes simultaneously. ...
