So it only needs 4 Billion times 90s, so is this like never in a million years? (actually it should be only around 12000 year, so you could use a cluster of 48000 Computer and be done in 3 month)


Distribute it over every smartphone on the planet (about 4 billion), and the computations will be done in minutes (of course, that’s dependent on the function being tested).

There will be orchestration overhead and transmission latency, but I guess one could get all results in one place in a day, if one had the ability to do the “run it on every smartphone” thing.
