PtrHash has a DOI, At last! 1.5y after starting the project.

- 2.4 bits/key
- 1.75x faster lookup than PTHash&PHOBIC for 3e8 string keys (44ns)
- 12ns per query for 1e9 int keys
- 8ns with streaming/prefetching; basically fully saturating RAM bandwidth (limit is ~7.5ns).

Building on Algorithmica's post on S-trees and the famous "Array layouts for comparison based searching" paper, I did a little project on making an optimized implementation of the S+ tree.
The result is 40x speedup over plain binary search!

fascinating result about the performance of memory-safe PNG decoders and the usefulness of autovectorization in real projects www.reddit.com/r/rust/comme...
Memory-safe PNG decoders now vastly outperform C PNG libraries
