Project: Analyzing website traffic data

In this project, you will explore how data partitioning can enhance the performance
of your program and investigate the challenges and solutions associated with
modern processor architectures.

Imagine you are tasked to work on a program that analyses website traffic data
from millions of users. As an expert in Computer Science, investigate how data
partitioning can enhance the performance of your program and solve this problem.
Explore challenges associated with modern processor architectures and suggest
the solutions. Document your findings and explanations in a well-organised report
and keep it in a portifolio.
