Good, I get that.  But Thomas' original discussion of the problem
indicated that it was very parallel, so the question is, in your
design, how many of those calculations can go in in parallel?

in a way, that's the wrong question.

If you need to have exponentiations and divides running in parallel
_on a single CPU_ because the problem isn't parallel _enough_ to
dispense with them being very tightly coupled... then, yes, that's a
reasonable question.

But _otherwise_ there is no limit on the number of calculations that
can take place in parallel, just throw more CPUs at the problem.
