> Zstandard’s branchless design is a crucial innovation that enhances CPU efficiency

Given how branchless algorithms are helping optimize not just network transport (compression) and even OS system libs (no citation for this one, but I’ve heard), that I really wish colleges begin teaching this along with DS/Algo course material.

what’s DS stand for? discrete structures?

Data Structures probably

Data Structures & Algorithms is also sometimes abbreviated as DSA
