Hi Paul,
So you had (or still have?) a chance to run the parallel count algorithms
on the large x86 (224-core with HT) system. Interesting data.
This patch set is to adjust a few contexts with existing contents.
Patch #1 adjusts horizontal spacing of tables getting wider than 1c
column width.
Patch #2 adds a dashed line mentioned in Quick Quiz 5.8.
Patch #3 substitutes "x86" for "POWER6".
If you have conflicting local updates, I'd be happy to rebase.
Also, you might want to add a Quick Quiz on the slope changes in
Figure 5.1 at number of CPUs 2 and 28. I think you know what I mean.
Thanks, Akira
