Fast Inverse Square Root

The mathematical sleight-of-hand that made real-time 3D lighting possible on consumer hardware. By reinterpreting a float's bit pattern as an integer, subtracting, and applying a single Newton-Raphson step, the routine approximates 1/√x roughly four times faster than the FPU equivalent — fast enough to normalize every vertex normal, every frame.
