Computer RPG, as opposed to tabletop RPG. So technically JRPG should be JCRPG.

Re:How many CPU cores can you use in parallel? on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @03:50PM (#38701340)
When I wrote some parallel code in C, enabling hyper-threading resulted only 30% increase in speed, which not too little, but you would expect more for doubling the thread count. I don't remember what was the bottleneck, but it was not I/O. On an other occasion a consultant for a HPC consultant advised us to disable some physical cores for the optimal performance of a geological simulator application, because the core/cache ratio is higher that way.
