Threads and parallel processing

[rsshetty]

Hi,

I have this application I am coding in C++. Here's a general idea:
Input-> No. of events
Requirement of event
No. of places to satisfy reqmt.

Event 1
Generate combinations of satisfying requirement from diff. sources.

Event 2
Generate combinations of satisfying requirement from diff. sources.
...
Event n

I have accomplished the above. That is not the problem. When I run my program it takes too much time to generate these combinations. I was hoping I could run the generation of combinations in parallel. I know that threads are used to do something of this sort. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in a direction accomplish these in parallel... a book, a site or an idea.. anything would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's always in the details.

Unless you've got multi-processors, conveting to threads would be slower because of the context switching.

I do have access to multi-processors.
