+Optimization
+============
+
+Needless to say that optimization is a rather important topic in HPC.
+
+A collection of code samples that illustrate opportunities for code
+optimization, or highlight potential performance bottlenecks.
+
+What is it?
+-----------
+`GalleryProcessorCacheEffects`: C implementations of the code examples
+given in Igor Ostrovsky's interesting blog post on effects the various
+caching mechanisms in a modern CPU can have on performance.  See the
+following URL for his original post:
