You guys remember the supercomputer IBM made for the government for the sole purpose of nuclear missle simulations right? Well is that done through massive parallel processing? How many processors does it consist of? Lets say I wanted to build a supercomputer with thirty-two billion processors hooked together, could this be possibly done? Lets say one inch between motherboards, but then that will make a stack half a mile high wouldn't it? but then if it was reconfigured into a cube would it still be possible through simple parallel processing? Would it still be possible even though the processors are a bit too far apart? I would think that the only possible way to do it is to use the quantum characteristics of individual electrons right? What I understand about the normal processors is that they only make calculations using two electron states, which are designated 0 and 1 right? A couple of years of years ago, I don't know exactly when, Richard Feynman suggested that it might be possible to make an extremely powerful computer using all thirty-two quantum states of an electron. I want your input on this, and thanks for taking time to read this.
