I first read the above as "In time-machines ..." instead of
"In time, machines...".
The solution to parallelism is a software problem.
Hardware just provides the platform. The decomposition of tasks
to be run in parallel and their coordination is ultimately up to
the programmer and the computer language/compiler.
