==== '''Conclusion''' ====

As the sample count increases, the execution time of the program also increases. The Big-O Classification for ''pi_serial'' is O(1).

=== '''Assignment 2''' ===

==== '''Conclusion''' ====

Using CUDA technology and parallelizing the serial code in the original code, there is an enormous increase in performance (lower execution time) to calculate , as high as 1372%. In the next (final) phase, an attempt to investigate if shared memory, optimal memory allocation, minimizing said memory access time, and other optimization factors would provide a further increase (lower execution time) in performance for ''pi_cuda''.
