in reply to Parallel Computation
As an exercise in understanding how computers do math it makes no sense, because computers do math in binary. You'd be better looking at how half adders work.
And it makes no sense to parallelise this, it is inherently serial. You cannot add or multiply the second two digits until you have the results from the first two.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
