With all the cores it would still apply to inter-core communication and memory sharing.
- digi_owl 9y agoThere more i read about computer internals, the more i am reminded of the hermetic saying "as above, so below". The layout of a CPU, the layout of a computer internally, and the layout of a network of computers seems to be more and more the same.
- simcop2387 9y agoIt goes even deeper than that. They layout of the circuits at the transister/component level have to deal with this too. Take a look at a motherboard between the cpu and the memory slots, you'll see traces that make weird turns and then back onto them selves. All to make sure the signals end up arriving at the same time (well, as close as is manageable).
- jokoon 9y agoYes, but you can buffer inter core communication, cores don't need to be in sync. I think. I'm not a CPU designer.
