Hi, pgsql-hackers! I've been working on a project for some time now that implements Unicode normalization (NFD, NFC, case fold, etc.) at high speed using SIMD instructions. The results are promising, and you can check out the benchmarks over ICU: https://github.com/dzfrias/xxUTF#benchmarks. I also saw a push for faster normalization in this mailing list, https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/844d3dd7-2955-4794-95d1-7f4c13cb89fc%40gmail.com.
I was wondering if Postgres was interested in this work. I know that my project is an early-stage library, but I think it could be of use to Postgres in some way or another. Is there any way I could apply my work to help Postgres? I’ve been working on this project for a while and honestly just want to see if any larger open source projects are interested. Best, Diego Frias
