No--mobs have no leader. Supercomputer clusters all have a leader, an organizer. They are more of a republic. :)
“No—mobs have no leader.”
They can have a leader but “mob” was not a good term.
My point is that remember, once upon a time, the battle for speed consisted of faster clock speeds and multiple instructions executed at the same time, to produce the fastest possible execution of a single instruction stream.
Now the speed race is a matter of running more and more instruction streams (cores) at the same time.
The former is like having great ideas. The latter is like increasing the headcount. The former is science. The latter is like administration.
To me a ‘computer’ is a core running a single instruction stream, and a ‘supercomputer’ is the committee of computers.
