Im pretty sure my math is right here, so… It would be more appropriate to say they failed to shell out for the 256 bit processor. Because at 256 bits per int a vector of 3 ints can easily encodes any location in the observable universe as Planck length coordinates.
Ya, but the observable universe only exists for cache locality reasons. You dont want to have to transfer information across too many processors as your bus bandwidth limited. The actual universe is much larger.
We should be careful then not to overload the 256 range. If we probe too closely at the QM level or use too many quantum computers it might overload the local processor node and crash it. Be a bad day for everyone.
