Game of Life - Michael Afidchao

The Game of Life is a "0 player game" cellular automaton. With an initial configuration, the game uses a set of rules to determine what happens to the life forms from generation to generation. More information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

These results were taken with an execution of 50000 generations and default settings for the rest of the options.

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.

MD5 Checksum Calculator - Edwin Lim

The md5 checksum is a commonly used hash function that produces a 128-bit hash value commonly used to check data integrity. It is also used in a wide variety of security applications, however its use in checking data integrity is what will be explored in this assignment.

The full source code for the MD5 checksum calculator can be found here: [1]

The following result (external link) was found after attempting to generate the md5 checksum for a 6.4gb file (Windows Vista ISO): [2]]

From analysis of the above profile, the code to be targetted for optimization is the following:

Bzip2 - Mark de la Cruz

From http://www.bzip.org/: bzip2 is a freely available, patent free (see below), high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression. The full source can be found in the link above.

Below is the profile and the function to be optimized:
