Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Vectorizing Unicode conversions on real RISC-V hardware
The project was mostly inspired by simdutf [0] which has been around for a couple of years already, and I don't think iconv has any of its vectorized implementations for other architectures.

Cray-1 performance vs. modern CPUs
I'm actually doing something quite similar in my, in progress, unicode conversion routines.
For utf8 validation there is a clever algorithm that uses three 4-bit look-ups to detect utf8 errors: https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf/blob/master/src/icelake/i...
Aside on LMUL, if you haven't encountered it yet: rvv allows you to group vector registers when configuring the vector configuration with vsetvl such that vector instruction operate on multiple vector registers at once. That is, with LMUL=1 you have v0,v1...v31. With LMUL=2 you effectively have v0,v2,...v30, where each vector register is twice as large. with LMUL=4 v0,v4,...v28, with LMUL=8 v0,v8,...v24.
In my code, I happen to read the data with LMUL=2. The trivial implementation would just call vrgather.vv with LMUL=2, but since we only need a lookup table with 128 bits, LMUL=1 would be enough to store the lookup table (V requires a minimum VLEN of 128 bits).
So instead I do six LMUL=1 vrgather.vv's instead of three LMUL=2 vrgather.vv's because there is no lane crossing required and this will run faster in hardware: (see [0] for a relevant mico benchmark)
# codegen for equivalent of that function

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
utf8 normalization, stemming, case insensitive comparison. https://github.com/unicode-rs example for rust What are options for C++? 1. translate to utf16 ( https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf ) and use icu -- slow 2. boost text, https://github.com/tzlaine/text , also slow (because the author doesn't care or couldn't care), we made a lot of patches to make our library faster than lucene, but still this part is slower than icu for utf16 (icu for utf16 also very slow...)

[Preprint] Transcoding Unicode Characters with AVX-512 Instructions
You can find the corresponding assembly code in this repository. The main branch only contains implementations based on C++ with intrinsics.

What's everyone working on this week (10/2023)?
The next big thing is making it LSP-compatible. All language servers must implement UTF-16 based character offsets, which is kinda unfortunate considering that files are much more likely to be stored in UTF-8 (I think?). I don't want to do the UTF-8 -> UTF-16 transcoding, so instead I'll use the excellent simdutf library to count how much code points a UTF-8 string would take if it was transcoded into UTF-16 — which is much faster than actual transcoding. So this is what I'm going to do this week — rewriting parsers to produce UTF-16 offsets + some final benchmarking. After that is done, I'll consider the "research" part of this project completed and will start writing an actual Markdown parser.

Why would a language not natively support SIMD?
You can find the assembly code here: https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf/tree/clausecker The corresponding C++ code is in the main branch.
- High speed Unicode routines using SIMD
-
text-2.0-rc1 with UTF8 underlying representation is available for testing!
Or via an ultrafast simdutf.

My thoughts and dreams about a standard user-space I/O scheduler
For example Boost-Beast and Boost-Mysql(not officially boost) receive user provided asio::io_context and every other library in this ecosystem should be the same.
