MultiThreaded Sudoku Solver

MultiThreaded Sudoku Solver which can solve a valid NxN Sudoku.

Features

• Parallelism with Multithreading: The program takes advantage of parallelism by implementing multi-threading using pthreads in C.
• Dynamic Thread Spawning: The program spawns 'N' threads depending on the input whenever it encounters an empty cell.
• Efficient Execution: The code was optimized for speed and correctness, running in approximately '0' seconds, and helped me secure a spot in the top 10 of the class leaderboard.
