I'm running pairwise() on two large vectors and wondered if there was a simple way to distribute this computation across multiple cores?

This already uses multi threading

StringDistances.jl/src/pairwise.jl

Line 55 in acf6623

Threads.@threads for j in (i+1):length(xs)

Weird, it seemed like it was only using 1 core last night.l on my MBP.

Maybe it’s because multicore != multithreaded. Also, be sure to start julia with multiple threads.

The multi-thread suggestion was right on the nose. Is there a way to run this on my GPU to get further speedups?
