Hell, even #deadsocial likely uses more than its fair share! I actually want to do some tests on this!
I don't know too much about #simd - but it's interesting to hear the #negatives https://www.bitsnbites.eu/three-fundamen.. It would be good to see speed comparisons between #simd and #vector #processing in a #cpu ...
Okay, this is very cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv26QAOc.. Zero #computation #processing #fractals ! You can even try this yourself: https://codeparade.itch.io/webcam-fracta..
