Thanks for this. Have you considered using a GPU to speed up computations?


I thought about it, but according to the other commentors here a project like this wouldn't make sense. I was learning python at the time and I wanted to learn about multithreaded programming in python.

I could turn it into a learning project with no practical applications. It would be a good platform to learn about OpenCL, and see if the benchmarking times improve.


You're right, it is absolutely senseles. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take pride in your work.

Take a look at my Pythagorean cipher. It's idiotic and not practical, but it's just neat.
