Message-ID: <8117@hubcap.clemson.edu> Date: 22 Feb 90 16:09:18 GMT Sender: fpst@hubcap.clemson.edu Lines: 6 Approved: parallel@hubcap.clemson.edu Until someone asked me the question, I had just been parallelising algorithms for the fun of it. But: what sort of application is really worth all the effort of parallelising? A sub-question: What sort of application is worth parallelising with a parallel logic language like Strand-88 or Parlog?
