MULTICORE module

Description

Module for multicore parallel simulation.

This module implements multicore parallel computing algorithms that can be used as a faster alternative to the default simulation algorithms in Chrono::Engine. This is achieved using OpenMP, CUDA, Thrust, etc.

For additional information, see:
