We explore with the use of multicore processing technologies for conducting simulations on population replacement of disease\r\nvectors. In our model, a native population of simulated vectors is inoculated with a small exogenous population of vectors that\r\nhave been infected with the Wolbachia bacteria, which confers immunity to the disease. We conducted a series of computational\r\nsimulations to study the conditions required by the invading population to take over the native population.Given the computational\r\nburden of this study, we decided to take advantage of modern multicore processor technologies for reducing the time required for\r\nthe simulations. Overall, the results seem promising both in terms of the application and the use of multicore technologies.
