I think high performance matrix multiply is usually done with the matrix 
divided into tiles or blocks, such that a couple of tiles fit neatly 
into the processor cache. This technique is applied for each cache level 
(blocks within blocks ...). While the forkJoin tools can help, I'm not 
sure how the parallel array mechanisms help here.
