Monte Carlo Poker Evaluator
SIMD-accelerated poker hand evaluator running millions of simulations
C++
SSE/AVX SIMD
Overview
A high-performance poker hand evaluator that uses Monte Carlo simulations to calculate hand equity. This personal project focused on pushing C++ performance to its limits through low-level CPU optimizations.
Technical Details
The evaluator leverages SIMD instructions (SSE/AVX) to accelerate hand evaluation, achieving a 1.5x speedup over the scalar baseline implementation. The system is optimized to execute millions of Monte Carlo simulations efficiently, using careful memory layout and CPU cache optimization techniques to maximize throughput.
