Gyroelongated square pyramid
In geometry, the gyroelongated square pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (J10). As its name suggests, it can be constructed by taking a square pyramid and "gyroelongating" it, which in this case involves joining a square antiprism to its base.

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.[1]
Applications
The Gyroelongated square pyramid represents the capped square antiprismatic molecular geometry:
Dual polyhedron
The dual of the gyroelongated square pyramid has 9 faces: 4 kites, 1 square and 4 pentagonal.

gollark: What I meant was that you could change your code to use parfor or something when iterating over the possible configurations at each stage.
gollark: Since there's synchronization overhead and the non-parallel bits.
gollark: Roughly linearly, actually, but whatever.
gollark: * core
gollark: Well, if the most expensive step is evaluating the configurations, then it should scale linearly with increased thread count.
