Speaking of CPU-specific optimisations, I've seen a few algorithm proposals from the last few years that assume that an algorithm can be scaled linearly in the number of CPU cores, treating a multicore CPU as some kind of SIMD engine with all cores operating in lock-step, or at least engaging in so
