    <p>It looks like you are using some kind of auto-parallelizing compiler. I am going to assume you have more than 1 core/CPU in your system (as that would be too obvious -- and no hyperthreading on a Pentium 4 doesn't count as having two cores, regardless of what Intel's marketing would have you believe.) There are two problems that I see. The first is trivial and probably not your problem:</p> <ol> <li><p>If the variable arrow_area_circle is shared between your processes, then the act of executing arrow_area_circle++ will cause an interlocking instruction to be used to synchronize the value in a way that is atomically sound. You should increment a "private" variable, then add that value just once at the end to the common arrow_area_circle variable instead of incrementing arrow_area_circle in your inner loop.</p></li> <li><p>The rand() function, to operate soundly, <em>must</em> internally execute with a critical section. The reason is that its internal state/seed is a static shared variable; if it were not, it would be possible for two different processes to get the same output from rand() with unusually high probability, just because they were calling rand() at nearly the same time. That means rand() runs slowly, and especially so as more threads/processes are calling it at the same time. Unlike the arrow_area_circle variable (which just needs an atomic increment), a true critical section has to be invoked by rand() because its state update is more complicated. To work around this, you should obtain the source code for your own random number generator and use it with a <em>private</em> seed or state. The source code for the standard rand() implementation in most compilers is widely available.</p></li> </ol> <p>I'd also like to point out that you are using the pow(,) function to perform the same thing as x * x. The later is about 300 times faster than the former. Though this point is irrelevant to the question you are asking. :)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
