Education
I volunteered as a representative for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Japan. I taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Japanese language, and I also taught others English in a classroom setting once a week for two years.
Analyzed team statistics to determine weekly training meeting topics and teaching methods as well as conducted, planned, and taught at meetings for groups of up to 20 volunteers on ethics, communication, and teaching skills.

I lived mainly in the Osaka and Wakayama prefecture's.

Threads Whitepaper
When using threads, a good rule of thumb for increased performance for CPU (matrixMult) bound processes is to use an equal number of threads as cores, except in the case of a hyper-threaded system in which case one should use twice as many cores. The other rule of thumb that can be concluded is for I/O (doIOop) bound processes. This rule is to quadruple the number threads per cores, except for the case of a hyper-threaded system than one can quadruple the number of threads per core. Based off…
When using threads, a good rule of thumb for increased performance for CPU (matrixMult) bound processes is to use an equal number of threads as cores, except in the case of a hyper-threaded system in which case one should use twice as many cores. The other rule of thumb that can be concluded is for I/O (doIOop) bound processes. This rule is to quadruple the number threads per cores, except for the case of a hyper-threaded system than one can quadruple the number of threads per core. Based off of the experiments conducted for this study, these finding should provide a general rule when one is considering how to improve the performance of a system or program.

We learned how to better analyze data using tools such as Python, R, and Excel. If we were to do this project differently, we would definitely put more time into the beginning. It took us a while to format the data before it was deemed usable, so we would get that done close to the beginning. In addition to this, it would have been helpful to determine a standard format we would work with. Over the course of working with the data, the layout of the fill changed resulting in reworks to data…
We learned how to better analyze data using tools such as Python, R, and Excel. If we were to do this project differently, we would definitely put more time into the beginning. It took us a while to format the data before it was deemed usable, so we would get that done close to the beginning. In addition to this, it would have been helpful to determine a standard format we would work with. Over the course of working with the data, the layout of the fill changed resulting in reworks to data structures as we went.
With regards to previous high school experience, it would have been interesting if we had data that included whether or not a student did extracurricular activities, as that may contribute to a student’s college success. Using a linear model to predict cumulative GPA was a good idea, but a decision tree highlighted where important factors take influence, as well as show a visual representation of the data. To better gauge how well a student might do in college, we would need more data. For example, obtaining data such as whether or not extracurricular activities might influence a student’s success in college might have been interesting as well.Other creators -
