How deeply does Rust Servers, Services, and Apps cover compute-bound?

Defines processor-limited progress, gives representative workloads, and sketches multicore computation without exploring implementation.

Compute-bound

As explained in Rust Servers, Services, and Apps

A CPU-bound program is a program whose progress rate is primarily limited by processor computation speed.

CPU-bound work progresses at a rate primarily limited by processor speed, as with complex number-crunching. It is generally a less natural fit for asynchronous task execution than I/O-bound work, though this is only a broad guideline. section 10.3

Square roots across cores

A program can compute each number’s square root sequentially, or distribute independent numbers across available processors or cores. This illustrates an opportunity for parallel processing in CPU-intensive work. section 10.1
