ParPaRaw: Massively Parallel Parsing of Delimiter-Separated Raw Data

Summary: GPU-parallel delimiter parsing via FSM simulation eliminates the sequential context pass, supporting expressive formats such as quoted fields. Scales to thousands of cores at 14.2 GB/s, with streaming PCIe transfers enabling 4.8 GB end-to-end parsing in 0.44 s. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
