Promppt: The first part of this assignment is to explore the use of threads in an application that computes PI. Download the compute_pi_montecarlo.c (compile: gcc compute_pi_montecarlo.c -o pi -lpthread)(execute: ./pi 800008) program to your Project3 subdirectory. Compile and run this program a few times to understand the basic operation and to verify that it does approximate PI. Next, time your program and/or add appropriate timing system calls to your code. Run the application varying the number of threads and number of sample points. You may get a core dump when you exceed the number of threads permitted (note that value). Record the time(s) it takes your program to execute when changing the number of threads and number of sample points.
1. Create a plot of time vs. number of threads when the number of sample points is fixed.
2. Create a plot of time vs. number of sample points when the number of threads is fixed.
Use an Excel like application to create your plot
