## Parabix Transform
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Parabix framework is based on the concept of parallel bit streams,
|
|
|
|
a fundamentally new transform representation of text. Byte-oriented character stream data
|
|
|
|
is first transformed into eight parallel bit streams, each bit stream comprising
|
|
|
|
one bit per character code unit. Code units may be ASCII characters or
|
|
|
|
UTF-8 bytes, for example, with one parallel bit stream defined for each of
|
|
|
|
bit 0 through bit 7 of each code unit. Given such a representation, the
|
|
|
|
128-bit SIMD (single-instruction multiple-data) registers of the SSE (Intel
|
|
|
|
architecture SIMD technology) or Altivec (Power PC architecture) may be used
|
|
|
|
to process 128 code unit positions at a time.
|
