fasterp - A faster fastp — same interface, same output, 2-10x faster.

10M read pairs:  fastp 11s → fasterp 6s

Built with SIMD acceleration (AVX2/NEON), efficient multi-threading, and minimal memory allocation.

Install

cargo install --git https://github.com/drbh/fasterp.git

Usage

# Single-end
fasterp -i input.fq -o output.fq

# Paired-end
fasterp -i R1.fq -I R2.fq -o out1.fq -O out2.fq

Drop-in replacement for fastp — all the same flags work.
