I'm a little puzzled by the use of rückwirkungsfrei in the following context:
"wenn sich Funktionsmodule rückwirkungsfrei auf mehrere CPUs verteilen lassen"
Would it be "without having any negative repurcussions"?
"wenn sich Funktionsmodule rückwirkungsfrei auf mehrere CPUs verteilen lassen"
Would it be "without having any negative repurcussions"?

distributed without any repercussions
one option -- IMO the idea is that the functions can be distributed over several CPUs without any negative impact -- e.g. impairing performance, requiring additional design or implementation effort, you name it.

reaction-free, without reactive effects
IMO they are talking about the reactive effect of solid-state circuits here. This is a technical phenomenon, not a general linguistic term as would be indicated with repurcussions.
