You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Many programming languages allow you to specify computations to be run in parallel. While Concurrent computing is focused on concurrency, the purpose of this task is to distribute time-consuming calculations on as many CPUs as possible.
Assume we have a collection of numbers, and want to find the one with the largest minimal prime factor (that is, the one that contains relatively large factors). To speed up the search, the factorization should be done in parallel using separate threads or processes, to take advantage of multi-core CPUs.
Show how this can be formulated in your language. Parallelize the factorization of those numbers, then search the returned list of numbers and factors for the largest minimal factor, and return that number and its prime factors.
For the prime number decomposition you may use the solution of the Prime decomposition task.
Ada
I took the version from Prime decomposition and adjusted it to use tasks.
prime_numbers.ads: <lang Ada>generic
type Number is private; Zero : Number; One : Number; Two : Number; with function Image (X : Number) return String is <>; with function "+" (X, Y : Number) return Number is <>; with function "/" (X, Y : Number) return Number is <>; with function "mod" (X, Y : Number) return Number is <>; with function ">=" (X, Y : Number) return Boolean is <>;
package Prime_Numbers is
type Number_List is array (Positive range <>) of Number;
procedure Put (List : Number_List);
task type Calculate_Factors is entry Start (The_Number : in Number); entry Get_Size (Size : out Natural); entry Get_Result (List : out Number_List); end Calculate_Factors;
end Prime_Numbers;</lang>
prime_numbers.adb: <lang Ada>with Ada.Text_IO; package body Prime_Numbers is
procedure Put (List : Number_List) is begin for Index in List'Range loop Ada.Text_IO.Put (Image (List (Index))); end loop; end Put;
task body Calculate_Factors is Size : Natural := 0; N : Number; M : Number; K : Number := Two; begin accept Start (The_Number : in Number) do N := The_Number; M := N; end Start; -- Estimation of the result length from above while M >= Two loop M := (M + One) / Two; Size := Size + 1; end loop; M := N; -- Filling the result with prime numbers declare Result : Number_List (1 .. Size); Index : Positive := 1; begin while N >= K loop -- Divisors loop while Zero = (M mod K) loop -- While divides Result (Index) := K; Index := Index + 1; M := M / K; end loop; K := K + One; end loop; Index := Index - 1; accept Get_Size (Size : out Natural) do Size := Index; end Get_Size; accept Get_Result (List : out Number_List) do List (1 .. Index) := Result (1 .. Index); end Get_Result; end; end Calculate_Factors;
end Prime_Numbers;</lang>
Example usage:
parallel.adb: <lang Ada>with Ada.Text_IO; with Prime_Numbers; procedure Parallel is
package Integer_Primes is new Prime_Numbers ( Number => Integer, -- use Large_Integer for longer numbers Zero => 0, One => 1, Two => 2, Image => Integer'Image);
My_List : Integer_Primes.Number_List := ( 12757923, 12878611, 12757923, 15808973, 15780709, 197622519);
Decomposers : array (My_List'Range) of Integer_Primes.Calculate_Factors; Lengths : array (My_List'Range) of Natural; Max_Length : Natural := 0;
begin
for I in My_List'Range loop -- starts the tasks Decomposers (I).Start (My_List (I)); end loop; for I in My_List'Range loop -- wait until task has reached Get_Size entry Decomposers (I).Get_Size (Lengths (I)); if Lengths (I) > Max_Length then Max_Length := Lengths (I); end if; end loop; declare Results : array (My_List'Range) of Integer_Primes.Number_List (1 .. Max_Length); Largest_Minimal_Factor : Integer := 0; Winning_Index : Positive; begin for I in My_List'Range loop -- after Get_Result, the tasks terminate Decomposers (I).Get_Result (Results (I)); if Results (I) (1) > Largest_Minimal_Factor then Largest_Minimal_Factor := Results (I) (1); Winning_Index := I; end if; end loop; Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Number" & Integer'Image (My_List (Winning_Index)) & " has largest minimal factor:"); Integer_Primes.Put (Results (Winning_Index) (1 .. Lengths (Winning_Index))); Ada.Text_IO.New_Line; end;
end Parallel;</lang>
Output:
Number 12878611 has largest minimal factor: 47 101 2713
C
C code using OpenMP. Compiled with gcc -Wall -std=c99 -fopenmp
, where GCC 4.2 or later is required. Note that the code finds the largest first prime factor, but does not return the factor list: it's just a matter of repeating the prime factor test, which adds clutter but does not make the code any more interesting. For that matter, the code uses the dumbest prime factoring method, and doesn't even test if the numbers can be divided by 2.

JavaScript
This code demonstrates Web Workers. This should work on current versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
This first portion should be placed in a file called "parallel_worker.js". This file contains the logic used by every worker created. <lang javascript> var onmessage = function(event) {
postMessage({"n" : event.data.n, "factors" : factor(event.data.n), "id" : event.data.id});
};
function factor(n) {
var factors = []; for(p = 2; p <= n; p++) { if((n % p) == 0) { factors[factors.length] = p; n /= p; } } return factors;
} </lang>
For each number a worker is spawned. Once the final worker completes its task (worker_count is reduced to 0), the reduce function is called to determine which number is the answer. <lang javascript> var numbers = [12757923, 12878611, 12757923, 15808973, 15780709, 197622519]; var workers = []; var worker_count = 0;
var results = [];
for(var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
worker_count++; workers[i] = new Worker("parallel_worker.js"); workers[i].onmessage = accumulate; workers[i].postMessage({n: numbers[i], id: i});
}
function accumulate(event) {
n = event.data.n; factors = event.data.factors; id = event.data.id; console.log(n + " : " + factors); results[id] = {n:n, factors:factors}; // Cleanup - kill the worker and countdown until all work is done workers[id].terminate(); worker_count--; if(worker_count == 0)
reduce(); }
function reduce() {
answer = 0; for(i = 1; i < results.length; i++) {
min = results[i].factors[0]; largest_min = results[answer].factors[0]; if(min > largest_min) answer = i;
} n = results[answer].n; factors = results[answer].factors; console.log("The number with the relatively largest factors is: " + n + " : " + factors);

Perl 6
Assuming that factors is defined exactly as in the prime decomposition task: <lang perl6>my @nums = 12757923, 12878611, 123456789, 15808973, 15780709, 197622519;
my @factories; @factories[$_] := factors(@nums[$_]) for ^@nums; my $gmf = ([max] @factories»[0] »=>« @nums).value; </lang> The line with the for loop is just setting up a bunch of lazy lists, one for each number to be factored, but doesn't actually do any of the work of factoring. Most of the parallelizing work is done by the hyperoperators that demand the first value from each of the factories' lists, then builds (again in parallel) the pairs associating each first value with its original value. The [max] reduction finds the pair with the largest key, from which we can easily extract the greatest minimum factor candidate, and then refactor it completely.
The rakudo system does not actually do hypers in parallel yet, but when it does, this can automatically parallelize. (Hypers do parallelize in pugs, but it doesn't do some of the other things we rely on here.) It will be up to each individual compiler to determine how many cores to use for any given hyperoperator; the construct merely promises the compiler that it can be parallelized, but does not require that it must be.
There is also some pipelining that can happen within the factors routine itself, which uses a gather/take construct, which the compiler may implement using either coroutines or threads as it sees fit. Threading pipelines can make more sense on, say, a cell architecture.
PicoLisp
The 'later' function is used in PicoLisp to start parallel computations. The following solution calls 'later' on the 'factor' function from Prime decomposition#PicoLisp, and then 'wait's until all results are available: <lang PicoLisp>(let Lst
(mapcan '((N) (later (cons) # When done, (cons N (factor N)) ) ) # return the number and its factors (quote 188573867500151328137405845301 # Process a collection of 12 numbers 3326500147448018653351160281 979950537738920439376739947 2297143294659738998811251 136725986940237175592672413 3922278474227311428906119 839038954347805828784081 42834604813424961061749793 2651919914968647665159621 967022047408233232418982157 2532817738450130259664889 122811709478644363796375689 ) ) (wait NIL (full Lst)) # Wait until all computations are done (maxi '((L) (apply min L)) Lst) ) # Result: Number in CAR, factors in CDR</lang>

Python
Python 3.2 has a new concurrent.futures module that allows for the easy specification of thread-parallel or process-parallel processes. The following is modified from their example and will run, by default, with as many processes as there are available cores on your machine.
Note that there is no need to calculate all prime factors of all NUMBERS
when only the prime factors of the number with the lowest overall prime factor is needed.

Sample Output
For these numbers: 112272537195293 112582718962171 112272537095293 115280098190773 115797840077099 1099726829285419 The one with the largest minimum prime factor is 115797840077099: All its prime factors in order are: [544651, 212609249]
Tcl
With Tcl, it is necessary to explicitly perform computations in other threads because each thread is strongly isolated from the others (except for inter-thread messaging). However, it is entirely practical to wrap up the communications so that only a small part of the code needs to know very much about it, and in fact most of the complexity is managed by a thread pool; each value to process becomes a work item to be handled. It is easier to transfer the results by direct messaging instead of collecting the thread pool results, since we can leverage Tcl's vwait
command nicely.
<lang tcl>package require Tcl 8.6 package require Thread
- Pooled computation engine; runs event loop internally
namespace eval pooled {
variable poolSize 3; # Needs to be tuned to system size
proc computation {computationDefinition entryPoint values} {
variable result variable poolSize # Add communication shim append computationDefinition [subst -nocommands { proc poolcompute {value target} { set outcome [$entryPoint \$value] set msg [list set ::pooled::result(\$value) \$outcome] thread::send -async \$target \$msg } }]
# Set up the pool set pool [tpool::create -initcmd $computationDefinition \ -maxworkers $poolSize]
# Prepare to receive results unset -nocomplain result array set result {}
# Dispatch the computations foreach value $values { tpool::post $pool [list poolcompute $value [thread::id]] }
# Wait for results while {[array size result] < [llength $values]} {vwait pooled::result}
# Dispose of the pool tpool::release $pool
# Return the results return [array get result]
}
