Subdivide A Problem To A Pool Of Workers (No Shared Data)
Take a hard to compute problem and split it up between multiple worker threads. In your solution, try to fully utilize available cores or processors. (I'm looking at you, Python!)
Note: In this question, there should be no need for shared state between worker threads while the problem is being solved. Only after every thread completes computation are the answers recombined into a single output.
Example:
-Input-
(In python syntax)
In other words, a list of random strings.
-Output-
(In python syntax)
In other words, all possible permutations of each input string are computed.

Example:
-Input-
(In python syntax)
["ab", "we", "tfe", "aoj"]
In other words, a list of random strings.
-Output-
(In python syntax)
[ ["ab", "ba", "aa", "bb", "a", "b"], ["we", "ew", "ww", "ee", "w", "e"], ...
In other words, all possible permutations of each input string are computed.
