The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

1000x speedup on interactive Mandelbrot zooms: from C, to inline SSE assembly, to OpenMP for multiple cores, to CUDA, to pixel-reuse from previous frames, to inline AVX assembly...
I verified that the limiting factor is memory bandwidth - and that once we switch to a fully CPU-bound mode (with option -p 100) the computation speed scales linearly with more cores.

Nice work and interesting route. My Mandelbrot route was (IIRC) [machine/OS then language] IBM XT CGA Turbo Pascal, Sun 3/260 Unix Pascal with SunCORE, Masscomp/Chromatics graphics box Unix C with GKS, Sun 3/260 Unix C with SunCORE, Amiga C, Pentium PC VGA C, Pentium PC Windows C, My own CPU and computer design Assembly, and finally Pentium PC Windows/Linux Assembly (with C for GUI part). If you want to see my Windows/Linux assembly code (basic x86 assembly) here's the links: https://github.com/mrmcsoftware/FractalAsm (for Windows) https://github.com/mrmcsoftware/FractalAsm-Linux (for Linux) . And if you want to see it running on my own CPU and computer design (via simulator), view my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygf0aa1r3NY (part of a series of videos). [You can probably relate, due to your FPGA experience]
