Number crunching algo for learning multithreading?
- by Austin Henley
I have never really implemented anything dealing with threads; my only experience with them is reading about them in my undergrad. So I want to change that by writing a program that does some number crunching, but splits it up into several threads.
My first ideas for this hopefully simple multithreaded program were:
Beal's Conjecture brute force based on my SO question.
Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula for calculating Pi.
Prime number brute force search
As you can see I have an interest in math and thought it would be fun to incorporate it into this, rather than coding something such as a server which wouldn't be nearly as fun!
But the 3 ideas don't seem very appealing and I have already done some work on them in the past so I was curious if anyone had any ideas in the same spirit as these 3 that I could implement?
