Well put! (Sorry if i sounded like I was I high-simmer.) Parallelism is the growing outlook for the current future. By the time it fully arrive, something newer may be replacing it. I just read/hear too much from those who think it will be an instant cure for all our current problems. I fully argree that many of the results will justify there cost and time! (I just don't expect to see it all by tomorrow.) In terms of the Karp challenge, can the Mealy machine do a 100 fold increase given normal lenght tokens, or are we talking more like 10 to 20 ??
