The simulations using a multi-threaded simulation engine are all
executed with 4 threads. All test cases are performed with the dummy
constraint available.

Results, analysis and interpretation

The results of benchmark suite 3 are shown in Table 9.7. The
multi-threaded simulation execution achieves a speedup up to 3.78
which is close to the maximum (considering the 4-core processor used
for executing the parallelized (multi-threaded) simulation engine).
