Massively parallel processing: it's déjà vu all over again

Published: 26 July 2009 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we will identify those aspects of the concurrent computing landscape that have changed since the 1980's and how those changes might impact the efficacy of parallel computing as we move from single- to multi- to many- and to massive numbers of processing cores.
