This problem challenges you to parallelize a program that has been profiled using GNU gprof and for which a section has been identified as a candidate for parallelism.
This problem is based on a previous challenge problem with which you are recommended to first familiarize yourself, linked below.
http://hpcuniversity.org/students/weeklyChallenge/92/
Given the solution to the previous challenge problem and the starter code at the bottom of this challenge, take the function that was identified as a candidate for parallelism, and make a parallel version of it using OpenMP, making sure to preserve the same results when switching between serial and parallel (to help verify this, you can turn off randomness - use a constant seed for the random number generator in line 37 of main.c, e.g. srandom(0)).
There are a number of previous challenge problems related to OpenMP and shared memory that you can use as reference if needed for using OpenMP to parallelize:
