And that is what is happening with the next version of GeneXproServer. After all we have a very fast implementation that has been improved and bug free for many years so we might as well use it.

Let me say at this point that I don’t doubt this, we did implement a parallel-minded version of GEP that is faster but not convincingly so when other factors such as code complexity were considered.

After all the GEP algorithm is one of those embarrassingly parallel problems, so long as you write it from the ground up with that in mind it should be faster than a serial implementation. Of course this was due to how the algorithm was implemented. The resulting code run slower than the original serial, single core, code built with the venerable Visual Studio 97 C++ compiler! And the difference was even higher when compared with serial code compiled with the newer compiler with all the possible optimizations on. How happy was I to see all four cores light up! That did not last very long though.
I remember a few years ago in my first efforts to parallelize with OpenMP the algorithms we use in GeneXprotools. When you parallelize a piece of code that uses shared state you get variations of a problem called False Sharing where your cores fight with each other for cache memory. After all scientific computation is traditionally done in Fortran which is a very procedural language followed by C and C++ that lend themselves very well to for loops. This assumes that we are not talking about functional languages, I should add. Most CPU bound code operates on one or more big arrays that are allocated at the start of the application and, hopefully, deleted at the end. The reality of most compute intensive systems is the abundance of shared state. These do scale linearly with the number of cores in your machine but they are not doing anything useful or realistic. Usually the demos are prime numbers calculators or even worse sleep statements. I have watched countless demos of how parallelism can be added to your code by changing a small portion of it or by adding an attribute that magically divides the processing time by the number of cores in your CPU.
