As zurn pointed out, it's not taken out of context at all. Right before your excerpt comes:
"The whole "let's parallelize" thing is a huge waste of everybody's time. There's this huge body of "knowledge" that parallel is somehow more efficient, and that whole huge body is pure and utter garbage."
- VMG 12y agoTrue, that is in there. But in a Linus rant, the most inflammatory quotes are not necessarily what he is trying to say. (That statement is also editorializing, of course)
- patal 12y agoThe excerpt talks about widespread beliefs about how parallelizing everything is supposed to be good. OP's title suggests parallel computing in general. How's that not out of context?
