Is there really a multicore crisis?
September 20, 2007

Are multicore processors causing a software crisis? Jim Kring seems to think so. In a posting yesterday, Kring argues "most software programs that exist today will not run any faster on the latest and greatest computers 10 years from now, assuming that clock speed continues to remain constant" because those programs are written sequencially, not in parallel. Not everyone agrees, as seen by the comments to Kring's posting.

Do you believe the multicore processors will eventually make test applications run faster?
