Performing fast calculations of network demand using multi-core CPUs
Rather than running at faster clock-speeds, modern CPUs increasingly rely on multi-core technology to deliver performance. High performance devices such as smart phones and desktop PCs leverage the power of multi-core CPUs to enable multitasking; i.e., the capability to run several different applications without degrading the overall performance/responsiveness of the operating system. However, improving the performance of a single application using a multi-core CPU is a non-t
