  “Data-Parallel Finite State Machines”: #parallel simulation of #finite-automata that are “up to 3× faster than optimized sequential implementations on a single processor” in #performance due to using #SIMD instructions. Seems to be some tweaks to the #prefix-sum thing Blelloch mentioned in his 1993 #paper, which they call “enumerative computation”? These algorithms are probably crucial to speeding up #CSV parsing.
