Processor cores will divide computing tasks and share information using adaptations of parallel and distributed computing methods that allow multiple computers to work on a single task, according to the statement.
I believe this is a computer that will deliver several years of good use and thus is a good value for the money.

 An Industry at Risk
Oracle has recommended that patent protection not be provided for computer software or computer software algorithms, for the reasons described above.
Copyright protection for computer software is sufficient to preserve the rights of software developers, who rely on the unique combination of algorithms and techniques to produce successful software programs.
While software's complexity makes a typical computer program dependent on many different software technologies, software's abstraction makes it difficult to partition these technologies.

This means that, in an ideal market, if you can spend a penny per year on your share of shared computing resources, you could get today: - 824 454 bytes of disk space, or - 8 245 bytes of RAM (averaged), or - 34 880 CPU cycles per second (averaged)

 fork - What is fork
Definition: fork : In the open-source community, a fork is what occurs when two (or more) versions of a software package's source code are being developed in parallel which once shared a common code base, and these multiple versions of the source code have irreconcilable differences between them.
Nor should it be confused with what happens when a new distribution of Linux or some other distribution is created, because that largely assembles pieces than can and will be used in other distributions without conflict.

 Women in History at Embracing the Child
Grace Murray Hopper (1906-1992) Pioneer in Computer Science
The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster.
The other fork of the road - the one "less traveled by" - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth."

 Definition of Fork
The standard four-tine design also became current at this time (the three-pronged variety is known as a trident).
A fork is an implement with a handle on one end and long tines on the other; it is used for pricking, to hold or transfer something.
