"The Landscape of Parallel Computing Research: A View from Berkeley"
is the title of an interesting paper referenced on Slashdot that discusses recent hardware trends and their impacts to programming models and operating systems, especially wrt supporting parallel computing. Nothing radical -- in fact, it reinforces much of what has been written and discussed on the subject -- but impressive because it incorporates the conclusions of a dozen authors.
