Profiling the execution time at a computation hot spot for both the serial and parallel versions of the Monte Carlo Simulations program.<br/>

We can see that the parallel version gives us about a '''~4x performance gain'''.

Evaluating the time it takes the serial and parallel versions of the program to run through the Monte Carlo Iterations for 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) iterations.<br/>

We can see that the parallel version gives us about a '''~4x performance gain''' matching our benchmark results.
