示例：计算两个矩阵的乘积
以下示例显示了 matrix_multiply 函数，可计算两个方阵的乘积。
// Computes the product of two square matrices.
void matrix_multiply(double** m1, double** m2, double** result, size_t size)
{for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) {for (size_t j = 0; j < size; j++){double temp = 0;for (int k = 0; k < size; k++){temp += m1[i][k] * m2[k][j];}result[i][j] = temp;}}
}示例：并行计算矩阵乘法
以下示例演示了该 parallel_matrix_multiply 函数，该函数使用 parallel_for 算法并行执行外部循环。
// Computes the product of two square matrices in parallel.
void parallel_matrix_multiply(double** m1, double** m2, double** result, size_t size)
{parallel_for (size_t(0), size, [&](size_t i){for (size_t j = 0; j < size; j++){double temp = 0;for (int k = 0; k < size; k++){temp += m1[i][k] * m2[k][j];}result[i][j] = temp;}});
}此示例并行化外部循环只是因为它执行了足够的工作，可从并行处理的开销中受益。 如果将内部循环并行化，你将不会获得性能提升，因为内部循环执行的少量工作并不能克服并行处理的开销问题。 因此，仅并行化外部循环是在大多数系统上最大程度地发挥并发优势的最佳方式。

}// Frees the memory that was allocated for the given square matrix.

{for (size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i){for (size_t j = 0; j < size; ++j){m[i][j] = static_cast<double>(gen());}}return m;
}四核上的输出如下:
serial: 3853
parallel: 1311
