========
Every operation requires time on a CPU. A CPU logically is many threads which
can have many operations in parallel, but also bound by a frequency and their
performance as to how many instructions can be performed per second.
can have many processes in parallel, and each thread has a limit on how many
instructions it can perform per second. This makes CPU a finite resource for
our system.
This means that given a say 8 core CPU, each individual core may be able to
complete 1000 operations per second, and combined this becomes 8x1000.
