steempytutorials (65) in programming • 7 years ago

For each tutorial we release there will be a relevant challenge where the winner receives 1 STEEM!

Challenge

Take the code from the tutorial from here and change it to be able to do the following

Determine the most optimal amount of threads for your CPU and plot this. Time each session and use this data to make a plot which shows where there is no more benefit of adding any additional threads. To keep it simple stick to a fixed block count of 1000.

That's it! Good luck to everyone participating!

Deadline

The prize money will be rewarded to the person that solves the problem first. If there is no solution within 7 days after this post has been submitted the prize pool expires.

Here's my solution

I've assumed that the number of threads is optimal, when the addition of a new one improves the execution time of the algorithm by less than 5%. you can change this value by modifying STOP_CONDITION variable.

I've also changed head_block = blockchain.get_current_block_num()-int(sys.argv[1]) to head_block = blockchain.get_current_block_num(), which I believe is correct
