Looking ahead

I meet with Dheeraj just before break to discuss the code. Suman wants to look at parallelizing the code as much as possible to speed up the update calculation. Dheeraj pointed out the parts of the code that take the longest to run and suggested that I try to parallelize some for loops in that section.

Dheeraj also suggested that I should read over the sigmetrics paper to learn more about the way the rules and modifications to the rules are handled in the code because we want to maintain the same semantic equivalence of the rules when parallelizing the calculation.

I am currently reading through the paper and looking into parallelization techniques.
