faster MASH implementations

[jianshu93]

Hello Matt,

Please check the CPU instruction accelerated Mash called rabbitMash (https://github.com/ZekunYin/RabbitMash), it can be 10X faster for the tri command (sketch + dist). I would be interesting to see how it can accelerate dRep. Note that you may need to add a little bit code to determine which CPU instructions is supported.

Thanks,

Jianshu

Hi Jianshu,

Thanks for the suggestion! I like this idea and will try it out when I have time. In the mean-time if you (or anyone else) would like to submit a pull request with the code added I would be happy to help.

Best,
Matt
