Digital Oscilloscopes, for one.
The technique is useful for capturing high-speed analog data where
the bandwidth of a aingle ADC is insufficient.
Do you mean bandwidth or sample rate?

Brain brain!! What is brain??

Going back a year or two there, eh?
Hey, little lost angel, welcome back. Where ya been?
No. Not at all. As I said in another post, my proposed device is
completely serial except for the frequency. It uses "parallel hz" but
in terms of everything other than frequency, it is totally serial and
non-parallel. Only the clock rate is parallel.

Sounds like it, doesn't it?
I've got a feeling he doesn't know what he's talking about, tho...
Hey, little lost angel, welcome back. Where ya been?
Ah, a PDP-8i.
(Serial ALU in a parallel computer). <yawn>
Did PDP-8i use "parallel hz"?
Actually my proposed device is more like a massively-serial one with
clock-rate being the only parallel entity. A billions 1 hz clocks
somehow result in an effective 1 Ghz clock rate.
N number of 1 hz clocks = clock rate of N hz
Everything else is serial
Yes.
I don't even know what "parallel Hz" (Hz is capitalized to honor
the person, BTW) is. It (I believe it was the 'I' was a parallel
processor that had a serial ALU.
Key word: "somehow". In other words, you're clueless.
And you would want to do this, why?
(forgetting for a moment that
I don't even know what it is that you're proposing - I doubt you do
either).
Ok, now before you answer this next question, think. What are you
going on about?
Parallel Hz = method using N number of 1 hz clocks to gain a clock rate
of N hz.

If each clock signal is 1 hz, and you have a billion of them, staggered
such that every 1ns part of the CPU can start, and finish, an
instruction - making the effective 'clock rate' 1 Ghz.
For fun.
A computer that is totally serial except for the frequency aspect. It
has a clock rate of 4 Ghz that is obtained by using 4 billion 1 hz
clocks. But otherwise, it is completely serial.

Ah, so it was never intended to have a practical use. ...just so
much more mental masturbation.

You've got a hell of a lot more of them leaking...
What causes them to leak?
Rob said:The PDP-8/I was fully-parallel, just like the PDP-8, except
that it was the first of the "-8" line to use TTL logic levels
(+3V & 0) instead of the negative ones (-3V & 0) used in the
Classic -8. [It was built out of "M-Series" modules, rather
than the "R/S/T/B-Series".]

I thought TTL was +5V and 0. Or was this a later development?
