Hi Clement,

In yt, we use the EWAH code for particle (discrete) datasets to determine which files have particles in which regions, to minimize over-reading of data.

Hey Matt,
I’ve been trying to read the README for the c++ code and I don’t really get what it is or does (must be too far from my own confort zone in software).
Could you elaborate a little on what it does and how it’s relevant to yt ? Just curious :)

Hi folks,

Navaneeth (CC'd) has been working on extracting the ewah_bool_utils code, which was originally written by Meagan Lang (also CC'd) to wrap Daniel Lemire's EWAH bitmap array code, into its own repo.  The code itself is pretty darn useful beyond yt applications, so I think this is a pretty alright idea.

I'd like to transfer this to the yt-project organization, and have it be hosted there.  Does anyone object to that?  Unless I hear otherwise, we'll initiate the repo transfer in few days.

Right now, he's begun trying to make a version of yt that depends on it as an external dependency, but that would be a subsequent discussion, as it's tricky and we'd need to decide on versioning, etc.

Thanks, and happy Saturday,

-Matt
