Note I never said it would be easy. I said it's very doable, and I stand by that.
I graduated as a Electrical/Computer Engineer last year, so I fully understand the challenges of memory coherence in todays parallel computing world. But come on, with the wide proliferation of multi-core processors, the techniques in this massive field have been refined quite a bit. I actually worked with with some high-performance distributing computing clusters (
Sharcnet) while I was at university, which was very cool and interesting.
Sure there would be some hurdles to consider, but it would not be a
relatively difficult thing to accomplish. (From an engineering perspective anyway, I'm not saying HTML Joe could slap the code together).
