Run:
./compile.sh
 to compile the programs.

Run:
./compile.sh clean
to delete the built programs.

NOTE:
The pthreads update provides threaded versions of some of the programs, they are much faster than the originals.
The openmp update provides threaded versions using openmp, which has slightly more overhead than pthreads, but is still much faster than the originals.
The threads update #2 increases performance of both previous threaded versions slightly.
