stringzilla

SIMD-accelerated string search/sort/hashes/fingerprints/edit distances

StringZilla is the GodZilla of string libraries, using SIMD and SWAR to accelerate string operations on modern CPUs. It is up to 10x faster than the default and even other SIMD-accelerated string libraries in C, C++, Python, and other languages, while covering broad functionality. It accelerates exact and fuzzy string matching, edit distance computations, sorting, lazily-evaluated ranges to avoid memory allocations, and even random-string generators.
