Coding Standards
Performance measurements were taken using std::chrono::highresolution_clock
,
with overhead corrections. The code was compiled with gcc-6.3.1, using build
options: variant = release, optimization = speed. Tests were executed on dual
Intel XEON E5 2620v4 2.2GHz, 16C/32T, 64GB RAM, running Linux (x86_64).
