Program Outputs
On our dual-core computer, the synchronous calculations took a total of 9.506 seconds. Though the individual asynchronous calculations took approximately the same amount of time as the corresponding synchronous calculations, the total time for the asynchronous calculations was only 5.911 seconds, because the two calculations were actually performed in parallel. As you can see in the output, the synchronous calculations took 161% more time to complete, so asynchronous execution provided a significant performance improvement.
