"Is Ideal Parallelism Possible, or Just a Theoretical Concept?"

Hey everyone! Been thinking a lot about ideal parallelism lately—like, is it even achievable in real-world systems?

On paper, it sounds amazing: zero overhead, perfect scaling, no bottlenecks. But in practice? Feels like chasing a unicorn lol.

I mean, we’ve got stuff like Amdahl’s Law throwing cold water on the dream, plus all the sync/communication overheads.

So, is ideal parallelism just a nice theory, or are we getting closer?

Would love to hear your thoughts—especially if you’ve seen any systems or algos that come *close* to it.

(Also, does quantum computing change the game here? Or is that a whole other can of worms?)

Cheers!
