This is the commoditization of the supercomputer.

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2. Of course, if d is not a power of two, 2 N / d cannot be represented as an integer. if ( ( i % 3 ) = = 0 ).

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. That means of course that we have to have a way to recover the control plane structure after a crash, and we’ll be trading off slightly longer recovery times while we recreate it, for faster operation in the normal case. That’s my analogy, so blame me if it doesn’t work for you!).
