I think my main points were good. * can parallelize by duplicating subsystems / divide and conquer * can parallelize by pipelining, even down to the arithmetic level * latency is limited by Ahmdal's law, potential throughput should not be * multi-tasking can potentially use close to the full power of a system
A factory is a parallel system. A car factory can come close to fully utilizing thousands of human and robot workers. I think well-designed parallel systems can efficiently solve many laborious computing problems. Invocations of Ahmdal have not convinced me otherwise. Sam
