900,000,000 Calculations

That's what it takes to filter my data for my thesis project. It's a nested "for" loop of 30,000 iterations for each loop, or 30k x 30k = 900M. That doesn't even count the differentiation, which requires at least 30,000 more operations. Granted that 30,000 is added, not multiplied, so it's not too bad after the filtering is done. I timed the filtering a couple times, and it takes my dual-core processor 3 minutes to run those 900,000,000 operations. Not terrible, not great, but it'll do.

I'll try to do better with the updates. More tomorrow.
