ABSTRACT
It is widely acknowledged that the most important optimizations to be made are high-level algorithmic changes. However, selecting the most appropriate algorithms for a task is but one thing. Algorithms rely on good underlying data structures whose efficiencies, in turn, are dependent on the target machine architecture. To complete the coverage of efficient data structures and algorithms, this chapter deals with a number of remaining issues related to tuning for target architectures, vital to making a production-quality collision detection system.
