On the question of whether or not a parallel processor with N processors can be precisely simulated by one with M < N processors, I have no references but can point out some obvious examples: suppose that you a fleeing a tiger, I am sorry, I am not interested in tiger hunting-hunted. The basic fact is that you have no scientific papers to substantiate your viewpoint. A tiger parabola is even not a good choice, it could be used to demonstrate that parallel processing is faster, the question was: Is parallel processing able to do computation impossible on a sequential machine. Sorry, you are out. Yvan Bozzonetti. Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=26876
