Hi,
I did another test using the same data and the same code, which I've
provided before and the performance of the single thread seems to be
degrading quadratically with the number of threads.
Here are the results:
Nthreads Time_to_execute_one_thread
1 8.1
2 7.8
3 8.1
4 9.0
5 10.2
6 11.4
7 13.3
8 16.1
9 19.0
10 21.4
11 23.8
12 27.3
13 30.2
14 32.0
15 34.1
16 37.5
Regards, Sergey
