This is a vid demonstrating some of the process to writing optimized, low level code. It's just a bit of fun, really, but hopefully it's interesting to watch.

Cheers for support my friends! I'll upload the source code here for ya'll to peruse! I'll also upload the current version of the CycleCounter lib (from the vid) with source. You have to link to it, or the code won't run. Of course, you can just time it with ctime if you want; that would work too :)

Racing the Dragon: Performance Programming and The Collatz Conjecture

This video a little adventure/demonstration of iteratively optimizing Assembly code for a little algorithm I found on StackOverflow (from stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40354978/c-code-for-testing-the-collatz-conjecture-faster-than-hand-written-assembly).
