Fast CSV Processing with SIMD
CSV are nice for data interchange or even for storage if compressed (storage is interchange between the past and the future). But the very first thing one should do when working with CSV data is convert it to a binary representation. It will force you to make a full pass over all the data, understand it, think about the types of the columns, and you will increase iteration speed.<p>More related to TFA: does someone recommend a good book or other resource about modern code optimization? I have interiorized several lessons but it would be nice to dig deeper.
