- colbyolson 17y agoReally neat idea and an interesting read, but I really wished there was a video of the simulation running.
- joe_the_user 17y agoWhat I think about parallelism is that ten or a hundred cores is just pain because there's no way to make them act like one 10x speed processor and they can only run even the parallel algorithm at 10x the speed, which seems like a big increase but isn't much more than we're used to. Now, when we have 1000 or 10,000 core processors with good shared memory, then actual fun stuff is possible.
