No it is not - as number of cores approaches infinity, the validation accuracy will approach zero, due to the lack of locking of shared memory. There is definitely a sweet spot in the number of cores for the original code, but it is not scalable to infinity. Therefore, it cannot utilize any number of cores.
That's not true - they don't lock global weights when updating, so if you have lots of cores and threads, asynchronous updates will result in very poor accuracy, making training useless.
