impl Rust: One Billion Row Challenge
I'm late to the party, but it's time we take a stab at the One Billion Row Challenge ( https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc ) in Rust. It's an excellent way to dig into optimizing Rust code and learning somethings about assembly, SIMD, performance profiling, and just CPUs in general in the process, so let's take it on! Thanks to the sponsor of this video, Hudson River Trading. If you're interested in finding out more about them, see https://www.hudsonrivertrading.com/gj... There are already several Rust implementations ( https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc... ), this excellent write-up ( https://curiouscoding.nl/posts/1brc/ ), and even an existing stream ( • The One Billion Rows Challenge with criter... ), but I'm hoping that walking through the iterative optimization process live is still a good teaching exercise. You can find my implementation at https://github.com/jonhoo/brrr, and the commit at the end of the stream is https://github.com/jonhoo/brrr/commit....
