Ticker Tape is a tech demo that encourages developers to implement more complex behavior in particle systems.
The demo uses a number of techniques to improve performance, including multithreading and optimizations for Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE). An overview of the article can be found here and the demo can be downloaded from there as well.

We have a new article that focuses on the performance gained in the Ticker Tape demo by the introduction of SSE instructions. This article will go over an introduction to SSE programming, how to lay out your data so that it is most conducive to SSE, and finally, walk through an example of calculating dot products using SSE.
