Wow, that is pretty fast. I played w/ doing CSV parsing taking advantage of SIMD string lookahead a while back ( https://gist.github.com/netshade/aa9e836e843c8e84b97a ) and found it to be quite fast as well, as I had assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the cost of navigating back and forth between the CPU and the GPU would erase any performance gains. I suspect ( it's been a while! ) that the SIMD approach would be faster than GPU, but tbh after working on it for a bit, then comparing it w/ mawk's (http://invisible-island.net/mawk/mawk.html) performance, mawk still beat my approach handily, and did it w/ way more functionality. Which is all to say that mawk is pretty amazing and worth checking out if you're in the market for parsing CSV fast.
