## Performance

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).
