SIMD for Collision
In a previous post SIMD Matters I discussed the big wins I got from graph coloring to make the contact solver faster. That same approach exists in Box3D. I like to call this approach “wide SIMD”. The idea is to process multiple work units at the same time. In the contact solver this means solving four contact points…

The Quiet Numbers Station: Decoding Nineteen Years of GPS Cryptography
The Global Positioning System (GPS) relies on its primary L1 frequency to broadcast precise timing and orbital data, allowing receivers on Earth to calculate their exact location. Because the L1 C/A signal transmits at just fifty bits per second, every bit of this navigation data must earn its place. Yet, within this…
