I want to clarify that. In actuality "you <u>could</u> have MUCH
longer runtimes". It all depends on how you write your code and how
you treat your termination conditions. I want to avoid those of you
working on the extra credit letting your code run for days. By
forcing the code to terminate after a specified amount of simulated
time, you should be able to get the plots you need to verify that
your barrier is working properly.<br>
