But by and large, the computation proceeds in a serial manner.

但总的来说，计算是以串行方式进行的。

And those kinds of computations in digital systems are highly serial, meaning that data streams, they don't branch off too far to the side.

而且在数字系统中， 这种计算是高度串行的，这意味着数据分出太多的分。

And then when they started really building them, they actually started with eventual consistency, because people were still figuring out how to do strict serializability.

然后， 当他们真构建这些系统时，实际上是从最终一致性的，因为人们还在研究如何实现严格的串行化。

This is also an example of a serial flash device. These typically have an 8 pin pin out, very standardized, much bigger device you know so you can use a multimeter probe to you know to poke at this.

这也是一个串行闪存设备的示例。这些设备通常有一个8针，非常标准化，更大的设备，所以你可以使用万用表探头来戳这个。
