Further reading
The notes for the chapter are a bit unusual for the book. Rather than call out papers the reader could look to for further research these notes are, overwhelmingly, suggestions of codebases to read. Data parallel iterators are amazing but take a little getting used to.
Nothing helps more than reading existing projects. Me, I figure every thousand lines of source code takes an hour to understand well. Makes for a peaceful afternoon:
- rayon, available at https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon. We discussed this crate quite a bit in the chapter but only skimmed the surface of it. I highly, highly recommend that the motivated reader go through ParallelIterator and work to understand the operators exposed there.
- xsv, available at https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv. Andrew Gallant is responsible for some of the fastest text-focused Rust code right now and xsv is no exception. This crate implements a toolkit for very fast, parallel CSV querying and manipulation. The threadpool crate discussed...
