The Grand Challenge
•
Making effective use of multicore hardware is
the
challenge for programming languages now
•
Hardware is getting increasingly complicated:
 – 
Nested memory hierarchies
 – 
Hybrid processors: GPU + CPU, Cell, FPGA...
 – 
Massive compute power sitting mostly idle
•
Will require a number of new programming modelsto program commodity machines effectively
