Consider the following binary search algorithm (a classic divide and conquer algorithm) that searches for a value X in a sorted N-element array A[] and returns the index of matched entry. Assuming that the number of cores on a multi-core processor to run BinarySearch is much smaller than N, discuss the speedup possibilities. How will your answer change if BinarySearch it rewritten as a recursive function

Jason, samantha, ravi, sheila, and ankit are preparing for an upcoming marathon. each day of the week, they run a certain number of miles and write them into a notebook. at the end of the week, they would like to know the number of miles run each day, the total miles for the week, and average miles run each day. write a program to them analyze their data. your program must contain parallel arrays: an array to store the names of the runners and a two-dimensional array of five rows and seven columns to store the number of miles run by each runner each day. furthermore, your program must contain at least the following functions: a function to read and store the runners’ names and the numbers of miles run each day; a function to find the total miles run by each runner and the average number of miles run each day; and a function to output the results. (you may assume that the input data is stored in a file and each line of data is in the following form: runnername milesday1 milesday2 milesday3 milesday4 milesday5 milesday6 milesday7.)
