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.
