- mgaunard 3y agoIf you push arbitrary amount of pressure through a pipe that can only handle 1000 psi, you need a valve to release the excess pressure, or it will blow up. In the real world, pipes cannot put arbitrary pressure, so your constraint is more bounded than this. So if you receive 2000 psi but your pipes can only handle 1000, you just need a small component that can handle the 2000 to split the pressure in two, and you can handle it all without releasing any. The same applies to digital logic; it's always possible to build something such that you can guarantee processing within a bounded amount of time by optimizing and sizing the resources correctly. As the word "digital logic" suggests, these sorts of guarantees are more often applied when designing hardware than software, but they can apply to either.
