All the boys in the family including me went for a haircut together tonight. This brought good business to the barbershop as four out of 6 members of the family are boys :-)
In order to get the work done quickly, I need to find a “multi-core” barbershop so that some kind of “parallel processing” can be done.
“Multi-core” is a term used to describe a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) that contains more than one core in it. Each core has the capability to carry out computation independently in order to achieve higher performance or to finish a job faster.
Likewise, a “multi-core” barbershop should have more than one barber working simultaneously. We always visit one Indian barbershop in Pusat Bandar Puchong with three barbers working at a time – a “tri-core” barbershop :-) But tonight one “core” went for dinner, leaving two “core” working – just like an Intel or AMD “dual core” processor.
The two barbers managed to get all jobs done in 20 minutes :-)
A photo after the haircut. Same hairstyle - like father, like son :-)
See you next post :-)

hi David,
I have always visited a single-core barber, well cos I only have 1 head :)
And they don't seem to have any conflicts working asynchronously, from the pic 4 of you sure spots the same hair-style.

Hi Leong,
Welcome to the world of blogging! Based on your name "rebel kaki",I thought you join the Rebel Alliance :-)
Good to know that you are going to Hanoi - YenKok told me it is a nice place, but watch out for "banana" - it is "deceitfully" expensive there.
David
