Thanks all for your replies,<br>Yes. It is a Monte-Carlo simulation I am trying to build up with all simulations being independent of each other. I am going to look into all the boost libraries you advised especially the MPI one.<br>
I&#39;ll post further questions if required.<br>Regards,<br>Julien.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/10/25 Belcourt, Kenneth <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:kbelco@sandia.gov">kbelco@sandia.gov</a>&gt;</span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Julien,<br>

&gt; I am writing a program that needs to run N simulations with N &gt;10 000.<br>
<br>
</div>This sounds a lot like Monte Carlo.  Are each of the N simulations essentially independent of each other, until perhaps all N complete and then some additional processing occurs?  If so, then instead of using threads,<br>

<div class="im"><br>
&gt; Obviously, I cannot instantiate N threads at the same time but I cannot run the simulations sequentially either.<br>
&gt; Can anyone please advise me how to design my program using the boost threading library and concepts please?<br>
<br>
</div>I&#39;d use MPI if you can, but I don&#39;t know enough about your application domain.<br>
