Superfastmatch on OS X · 82 words posted 09/17/2011 06:23 PM
Sunlight Labs and Media Standards Trust have released Superfastmatch, a tool for detecting similarities between texts.
My iMac is about two years old, with a quad core and 12GB RAM. Superfastmatch still taxes my machine. One minor quirk: the thread_count flag doesn’t seem to actually cap the number of threads, at least according to Activity Monitor.
But I’m happy to report it runs right out of the box on OS X. What a great tool for comparing texts. Thanks Sunlight Labs!
