Hello....
A new massively multi-core machine with timestamped HTM and hardware
managed task queues allows speculative execution that, they claim,
really works!
Press: http://news.mit.edu/2017/speedup-parallel-computing-algorithms-0630
For instance, algorithms for solving an important problem called max
flow have proven very difficult to parallelize. After decades of
research, the best parallel implementation of one common max-flow
algorithm achieves only an eightfold speedup when it’s run on 256
parallel processors. With the researchers’ new system, the improvement
is 322-fold — and the program required only one-third as much code.

Thank you,
