I’ve been speaking to customers over the last few months about our new cloud architecture for Synthetic testing locations and their confusion is clear. When we wanted to add a location, we had to ship hardware and get someone to install that hardware in a rack with power and network. Hardware was outdated. Sound easy?

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2. Thus if 2 N / d has been precomputed, you can compute the division n/d as a multiplication and a shift.
