Montecarlo pi

A parallel implementation of the Montecarlo method known as dartboard algorithm to approximate pi (π).

Installation

Install gcc compiler:

sudo apt install gcc

Usage

• Execute the bash script to run the tests:

  bash run.sh

• To execute a single file, cd into bin/ and run any of the following commands:

  ./dart_seq {exponent}
  ./dart_th {exponent} {threads}
  ./dart_th_off {exponent} {threads}

  Replace {exponent} with a number from 0 to 11 and {threads} with the number of threads to use. For example, if you pass 7, then the program will raise 10 to the power of 7, which will calculate 10,000,000 throws.
