Hello...


A new massively multi-core machine with timestamped HTM and hardware 
managed task queues allows speculative execution that, they claim, 
really works!

Press: http://news.mit.edu/2017/speedup-parallel-computing-algorithms-0630

For instance, algorithms for solving an important problem called max 
flow have proven very difficult to parallelize. After decades of 
research, the best parallel implementation of one common max-flow 
algorithm achieves only an eightfold speedup when it’s run on 256 
parallel processors. With the researchers’ new system, the improvement 
is 322-fold — and the program required only one-third as much code.

Thank you,
