False sharing is a lurking problem that hinders the scalabilty of a program and it can be easily missed. It is very important to keep and eye out for the problem and recognize it quickly in parallel programming where performance is key. The two methods we explored, padding and thread local variable, are both reliable solution to false sharing but having a local variable to a thread is definitely better than padding as padding is more resource wasteful making it counter intuitive in parallel programming.
