One of the authors here: Happy to answer any questions. Keep in mind this was a school project from 2012 (Kayvon's 15-418 at CMU, a wonderful class), so it's been a while.

Is the code available? The links are dead.

Can you run your benchmarks against ripgrep and report back?

Unfortunately, I don't actually have access to NVidia hardware anymore -- but I would be happy to accept a PR from someone who can get this to run!

Thanks for the reply. I'm also without nVidia hardware so I can't do it either.

Did grep treat the input file as ASCII or UTF8?

I remember another story where someone claimed to be faster than grep. Turned out the comparison was unfair because if this distinction. I believe LANG=C is enough to turn grep into ASCII mode.

The references on the project site lead to 404. Are they CMU internal links?

Which links specifically are broken?

Both links in the "REFERENCES" section.
