Swarm v2.1
1.
V2.0:
This is my swarm screensaver. I wrote the first version sometimes in 1996 for windowsNT. It did not look very impressive as I did not
know a good parameter set. I remember a colleague, who in 1998 played around
with this screensaver and really enjoyed it. He found a very impressive
parameter set. In this new version I cleaned up the code a bit. And I used a
faster system call, which draws all the bees with a single system call.

V2.1
I found some bug which caused that multiple steps for one display were
calculated but only one step was shown. This slowed down the simulation by number_of_steps.
I also changed that now the SSE2 CPUs are exploited – they allow 4 operations
to be performed at once. This gave some incredible speedup. Soon also to be
available for the CTaylor library.
