_____________<br>

Complete the following tasks. Read through this tutorial on ForkJoin Framework in Java.

<li>Read <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/3693752/how-to-use-forkjoinpool-in-java.html" target="_blank"> How to use ForkJoinPool in Java by Rafael del Nero, Java Developer, InfoWorld | MAY 4, 2023 </a></li>
<br>Do the following:<br>
_____________<br>
<li>Download <a href="ForkJoinExample.java" target="_blank"> ForkJoinExample.java </a></li>
<li>Can you determine how many threads are created?</li>
<li>Change the value of variable N. Determine the runtimes with the current arrays of size 10. Do you see any impact of parallelism?</li>
<li>Modify the code so that it reads a larger <a href="file1.txt" target="_blank">textfile [65 KB]</a> containing numbers. Re-run the experiment with N=2, N=4, N=16, N= 1024. </li>
<li>Repeat the same with a larger <a href="file2.txt" target="_blank">textfile [650 KB]</a> containing numbers. Re-run the experiment. Observe the runtime with different values on N.</li>
