A common pattern in modern software is to map a string key to a small array of floating-point numbers. Word embeddings, feature vectors, lookup tables for physical constants: all variations on the same theme. In Go, the obvious way to write this is a map[string][]float32. But how fast is it, really, and can we do … Continue reading Mapping Strings to Float Arrays in Go: How Fast Can We Go?
