That only works if the servers don't rely on external dependencies or if every single opertaion is idempotent.

Weren’t we comparing parallelised and single-threaded data processing jobs, though? If you’re introducing external communications in real time as a factor, wouldn’t that be a fundamentally different situation?

  • TP specifically refers to many servers. Conceptually it isn’t actually that different - the cores and memory are on the “network” of sorts.
