    Default PARALLEL PROGRAMMING HELP PLEAAASE! :(

    You are to write a parallel program that will receive a large array of unsorted integers containing digits from 0 to 99. The program will have to calculate the SUM and AVERAGE of ODD number digits between 25 and 75 (inclusive).
    The user may specify the size or the array and the total processor that the machine has. The size of the array must be divisible by number of processor. Based on the given size, the computer will generate random integer numbers automatically to populate the array.
    The program should display the status of the calculation for each processor. The result should be displayed after all calculations are completed.Error messages should be displayed appropriately

    a) Write a sequential (non-parallel) program that will accomplish above task.
    b) Write a concurrent (parallel) program that will produce the result of the above task.

    No, we can't. What's preventing you from getting a start on it? In fact, if you've done the (a) part, don't you see opportunities for adding threads to perform some of the processing in parallel?

    Perhaps instead of doing this more complicated program, you should start with a simpler program that starts a couple of threads, lets then run for a while and then has each of them exit back to the main thread.

    Start by writing a simple prototype that starts two threads and waits for them to finish.
    Have the threads call a method that does some work and returns a value.
