I think a millrace is the channel that brings water to a drive wheel?
And then the kind of race that I learned about in ... ah, I forget what
the class was called that covered gate logic. Sometimes a change in one
input can cause two or more "simultaneous" changes of internal state
bits, but nothing is ever truly simultaneous and a variation in the
speed of propagation of signals can lead to randomness if you're not
careful.
So what's that called, a logic race?
