    Supports→Parallel algorithms that achieve speedup only by employing exponentially many processors relative to input size are of little practical significance

    If parallel speedup requires exponentially many processors relative to input size, building a concrete computing device to implement such algorithms would be infeasible

    \(\sc{TWO}\ \sc{PLAYER}\ \sc{SAT}_n\) may be shown to be complete for the class \(\Sigma^P_n\) in the Polynomial Hierarchy. Note, however, as the value of \(n\) increases, we expect that it should become more difficult to decide membership in \(\sc{TWO}\ \sc{PLAYER}\ \sc{SAT}_n\) in much the same way that it appears to become more difficult to determine whether a given player has a winning strategy for increasingly long games of Go or chess. This observation provides part of the reason why it is
