Back to Serial
Wen-Mei Hwu suggest that we might be going back to sequential/serial as compare to parallel processing in the advent of multi-core processor.
This might be a step back as argue by many.
Reason for this?
# Developing a non-trivial explicitly parallel application is an expensive proposition.
# Verification and support of a hand-parallelized program is even more expensive.
# Programs developed in an explicitly parallel form are unlikely to scale with Moore's Law.
# Tools must have in-depth knowledge of the apps regardless of programming models being used anyways.
# Evolution of tools takes place at much faster pace than that of human race.

This is kind of surprising.
Some interesting link that i find it useful are:
