| <H2>Overview</H2> |
| This directory contains a simple example that finds all solutions to a |
| Sudoku board. It uses a straightforward state-space search algorithm |
| that exhibits OR-parallelism. It can be optionally run until it |
| obtains just the first solution. The point of the example is to teach |
| how to use the task_group interface. |

| <H2>Usage</H2> |
| <DL> |
| <DT><TT>sudoku <I>inputfile</I> <I>N</I> <I>S</I> [<I>-p</I>]</TT> |
| <DD><I>N</I> is the number of threads to be used. |
| <I>S</I> is the number of solutions to find: 1 finds the first, any other number will find all solutions. |
| <I>-p</I> prints the first solution (optional argument) |
| |
| <DT>To run a short version of this example, e.g., for use with Intel® Threading Tools: |
| <DD>Build a <I>debug</I> version of the example |
| (see the <A HREF=../../index.html#build>build directions</A>). |
| <BR>Run it with a small problem size and the desired number of threads, e.g., <TT>sudoku input2 4</TT>. |
