Ticker Tape Game Technology Demo

Ticker Tape is a new demo that showcases complex particle movement
using aerodynamic calculations, such as lift and drag. It uses an
n-way threaded framework and SIMD optimizations to achieve high frame
rates, and it allows you to gauge performance differences by varying
the number of threads and SSE usage.

With this demo you can:
� Simulate the realistic 3D behavior of particles when they encounter
air resistance or wind
� Take advantage of multi-core systems to achieve performance gains
� Directly integrate the library into your game

Download the Intel Ticker Tape Game Tech Demo today!
