These programs run quite well on my laptop with its meager 4 GB of RAM so....I guess they're just not that useful on more limited machines. Just in case you're curious: matrix_part.winxed multiplies a 10000x10000 matrix by a vector using four threads. moretasks.pir simply starts 50000 tasks which busy wait for a variable to become 1, put their number into an array and everything starts again. > ./parrot examples/threads/tasks.pir > > prints out long strings of a's and b's without stopping.
