Until recently, advances in computing hardware provided significant increases in the execution speed of software with little effort from software developers. The introduction of multicore processors provides a new challenge for software developers, who must now master the programming techniques necessary to fully exploit multicore processing potential. This assignment requires that you develop a parallel code (you can modify an existing non-parallel code) in any domain, test it, and report your findings. You must submit your code and findings. A complex code carries more weight.
