⇒ The tasks performed on the ASCAT PPF were all completed successfully and exceeded expectations by providing a significant improvement of the multithreaded performances: by reducing drastically the number of synchronization artefacts in the code, the software speed could now be scaled up further (up to a factor of 6 so far) by using all the cores available on the target stations (40 cores). This speed increase could not be achieved on the initial version as the speed gain degraded significantly when using more than 4 threads.
