StringZilla v4: CUDA-Accelerated SIMD String Processing Library Released

StringZilla v4 is here! This SIMD-first string processing library now supports CUDA, meaning it's blazing fast not only on CPUs but also on GPUs! Version 4 boasts numerous new features, including GPU-accelerated dynamic programming algorithms, several hash functions (including a novel AES-based one), and biosequence fingerprinting using 52-bit integers. Benchmarks show StringZilla v4 achieving over 500 GCUPS in Levenshtein distance calculations, outperforming other libraries by tens or even hundreds of times. The library is Apache 2.0 licensed and free for commercial use.
