Multitasking do not neccesarily limit itself to a few processors. At my university we have an 128-processor SGI/Cray origin machine that can use multithreading for parallization, and there are computers working that way with at least 2048 processors. I have not personally tested with more than 4 processors, though. But you are right, there are several ways to do parallel programming. >Networked CPUs that could use Ada's Appendix E "Distributed Systems" >constructs?
