Industrial and Research Challenges in the Area of Multi-Core and Many Cores
Avi Mendelson (Intel)

Abstract

Recently the computer architecture world is shifting toward multi-core and many core systems. This "new" trend already happened in the past with only partial success. As we discuss in the talk, a major part of the past failure was the inability to efficiently use parallel systems. In order to avoid repeating past mistakes, the research community needs to provide essential solutions to critical issues.
In my talk I will provide a short historical perspective on the past similar trends, and highlight a few critical directions that the research must address in order to make the new trend result in greater success.
