“Scarcity is the mother of invention” …looks like optimisation is back on the menu boys, something the Americans have forgotten whether for games, softwares, apps etc.

    I write HPC and this really isn’t that crazy. Its 800x vs a serial program ran on a CPU, it is only 100x a OpenMP (parallel CPU version).

    While the gains are very impressive and show clear deep understanding of HPC programming, it is really nothing that out of the ordinary.

    With proper memory optimisations and algorithm optimisations from a single thread to a dedicated GPU model a 100-1000x speed up is pretty normal.
