@Epand, how did it go? I assume you must be very busy...
Hello garlar27
Hello to other posters in this thread
Please rest assured that I did not forget to post whether this project is making progress.
The data which will fill the huge file, these data are provided by a numeric algorithm/procedure I am just working on. I would not define that numeric algorithm as a problem, but the point is, that its computation by a single-thread program takes a
very LONG time before the algorithm reaches a certain limit - reaching the algorithms goal is necessary for filling the discussed file.
Therefore I want to port this numeric part to multi-threading before the rest of this project goes ahead; if the numerical part - the computation of its mathematical formula - takes too long then filling the ensuing file would also take more time, the latter I have to avoid. The porting to multi-threading is a bit tricky because of the mathematical formula to be multi-threaded.
The whole project consists of two interrelated parts, step1 is programming the multi-threading of the underlying mathematical formula, step2 is filling the discussed file.
At the moment I'm still at step1, but I do not forget to drop a note if step2 is under way and running.
Have a nice time
Michael
