Hello, a couple years ago I participated in a contest to count word frequencies and generate a sorted histogram. There's a cool post about it featuring a video discussing the tricks used by some participants. https://easyperf.net/blog/2022/05/28/Performance-analysis-an...

Some other participants said that they measured 0 difference in runtime between pshufb+eq and eqx3+orx2, but i think your problem has more classes of whitespace, and for the histogram problem, considerations about how to hash all the words in a chunk of the input dominate considerations about how to obtain the bitmasks of word-start or word-end positions.

Awesome! The slides with roofline analysis are great! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/16M90It8nOK-Oiy7j9Kw2...
