"Programmers will need a whole new toolset to help debug, optimize and validate parallel codes," Callahan said. Meanwhile, McCool said, "Debugging has to move from single-step to visualization tools that capture trends in thousands of synchronized tasks," We also need to move toward visualization tools for programming. Especially with new flow and actor oriented models of parallel programming. Which seem to be the direction we are moving. Threads can only scale so far, and if Intel's 700 core future is really what comes to fruition there are few models that can scale as well. Pervasive implemented one of these models as DataRush a scalable flow based java engine which I would recommend checking out. JamesF PervasiveDataRush P.S. If anyone is interested in the Nehalem processor has just been renamed the Core i7.
