 Do you think that with this hardware, you would be able not to lose again a

 Good luck at Paderborn......!

One question. Is it easier to:
a)Create a multiprocessor version of one program to support 4 CPU's.
b)Create a multiprocessor version of one program to support 8 CPU's.
c)Create a multiprocessor version of one program to support 128 CPU's.
d)Create a multiprocessor version of one program to support 512 CPU's.
e)The difficulty is exactly the same for a) and b) and c) and d).
