50 Threads at Once

Program doesn't run fast enough? need 60 FPS but CPU only gives you 5? try 50 threads Just 50 threads all at once No atomics, no mutexes Try some SIMD too You will certainly not regret 50 threads

A close-up of a computer CPU on a motherboard is overlaid with exaggerated programming advice to use 50 threads simultaneously. The joke is that ignoring synchronization and adding excessive parallelism will make the program dramatically worse, despite the confident promise that you will not regret it. This meme is used sarcastically when someone suggests an overly simplistic performance optimization.
