Go up one level in this thread


Excuse me that I as nobody come into that parallelism debate. I have a general
question for you that could make things better understandable IMO.

Often I read here messages of tht sort that such and such result could not be
used at all because this isnt regulated etc. pp.

Let me ask you a basic question to your classes. If you want to make students
understand that they can make experiments and can compare the results - ALTHOUGH
as you just mentioned, even the very same behavior cannot be expected in case of
parallel processors, how do you do that education? What is the important point
to understand, so that it's then almost easy to understand? In general it's the
question if and when, under what conditions, one is allowed to make conclusions,
in what form, and when it's no more allowed?

Could you give a couple of statements? - I ask because I come from a little
debate with Albert, who is doubting that a little test by Marc would make no
sense insofar one couldnt take the results into any other area. I said that his
experiment and also the results of course had a meaning. Could you perhaps
include that totally different question into your explanation? What is data
worth and what can we do with it furthermore?

Thanks.
