(C++ and Java) Multithreads for Matrix Operations

Summary

This assignment asks you to write two multithread programs (in C++ and Java) for matrix multiplications. Your programs need to use up to 32 cores and demonstrate (nearly) linear speedup.

Background

Multicore processors have been widely used in most computers, including laptops, desktops, and servers. There are many ways to take advantages of these multiple cores. Writing parallel programs is one of the most important approaches. Parallel programs may be written in many different ways; among them, multithreading is one of the most widely used methods.
