Tuning Methodology
When optimizing your code for parallel hardware, consider using the following iterative approach:
Ignore the top two elements if you are not running on a cluster. There is not a recommended start point what to optimize first as this may vary. Pop up a level, look at all the potential optimizations and see where you can get the biggest gain for the least work. That is where you want to start.
