Multi-Threaded chkpoint_two Set Up

Syntax

ok = multi_chkpoint_two_setup ( y_squared )

Purpose

This routine splits up the computation into the individual threads.

Thread

It is assumed that this function is called by thread zero and all the other threads are blocked (waiting).

y_squared

This argument has prototype

const vector<double>& y_squared

and its size is equal to the number of equations to solve. It is the values that we are computing the square root of.

ok

This return value has prototype

bool ok

If it is false, multi_chkpoint_two_setup detected an error.
