I surely appreciate the difficulties in adapting algorithms to
multiple processors - I may be rusty, but some years ago I
worked on Neuralware and multiple transputers, 860s, and
so forth. It gets a little hairy!
Hasn't Mogo been parallelized to 4 processors? Can this be
extended to larger numbers?
Due to the problems with heat dissipation at higher clock cycles,
we'll probably be working with large numbers of processors per
chip in the future, rather than Terahertz uniprocessors.
