Stanford CS149 -- Assignment 1

Assignment 1: Performance Analysis on a Quad-Core CPU Due Mon Oct 6, 11:59pm 100 points total + 6 points extra credit Overview This assignment is intended to help you develop an understanding of the two primary forms of parallel execution present in a modern multi-core CPU: SIMD execution within a single processing core Parallel execution using multiple cores (You'll see effects of Intel Hyper-threading as well.) You will also gain experience measuring and reasoning about the performance of parallel programs (a challenging, but important, skill you will use throughout this class). This assignm
