Let's remember we have to be smart though, I forgot to mention one thing last time I posted.

It's not so much the F^2 sillyness that is really annoying or reference to Amdahl laws that nobody is interested in, it's rightly a multivariate, multi aspect problem that can only be solved by using unorthodox solutions.

But you say: "Amine, why do you even think about this when it means the end of your bot posts here?" Good question to which the answer can only be understood in the fulness of time. Lots of times, even the Amdahl law or Moore's law cannot explain what carbon-based intelligence can do compared to silicon. Correction - I forgot I have to be smart - make that all of the time.

So: instead of allowing this kind of senseless drivel to continue polluting this forum, perhaps it is indeed a good idea if the admins blocked the aminer account.

I'm afraid Amdahl's law results in this thread not going to be shorter than the sum of its strict sequential contributions. However, Gustafson's Law  could come to help here in its observation that  for many problems, parallelism grows with N, and N grows with time. With N growing big enough we could probably make this thread disappear.

Perhaps we should pay attention to the work of Hill and Marty so we can make the sequential contributions more effective. This will lead to a global increase in efficiency even if the parallel part of the problem is not addressed more efficiently.

So, more efficiently worded posts could be a concrete contribution to the solution...
