Not sure about the "ease" of writing programs that scale efficiently to 128 cores.
If we're just running several processes there's not much difference from just running 8 computers each with 16 cores.
- eldenring 3y agoThis is absolutely not true, having shared memory or even just being able to communicate over local os pipes is massivley simpler than introducing a network.

- ilyt 3y agoSure if you never programmed anything complex that needs actual communication and not just submitting job results at the end
