Description: Portable fork of Intel's Hyperscan library (development files)
Vectorscan is a portable fork of Intel's Hyperscan project. It is a drop-in
replacement that promises to be API/ABI compatible with the original project,
while allowing it to run on other architectures such as AArch64 and Power9.
.
This package contains development libraries, header files and documentation for
the regular expression matching library libhyperscan. You can either use the
supplied shared or static library.
.
Vectorscan only runs on CPUs with a SIMD unit. On x86 CPUs, the minimum
requirement is SSE4.2, AArch64 ISA already implies Advanced SIMD/NEON and
ppc64le (Power8/Power9) already implies VSX enabled by default.
