It's hard to find problems that benefit from parallelism, because most work has sequential elements. Due to amdhal's law, it's harder to realize significant parallel gains unless the problem is of a special or constrained type.
- stingraycharles 7y agoThis seems like unnecessarily black and white: in the real world, most parallel solutions have a part shared state / sequential operations, and a part parallel. Just because a solution has some sequential elements, doesn’t mean it doesn’t benefit from parallelism.
