Quote to Note: Multicore Chips for Microsoft Devs
January 20, 2010
In “Windows & .NET Watch: Five Predictions for the Next Decade,” Larry O’Brien inked a quote to note. He said:
You cannot develop software for manycore using today’s mainstream concurrency models. I know I sound like a broken record on this, but too many people have stuck their heads in the sand and are willfully ignoring an enormous problem. Writing manycore programs is going to be the hardest technical challenge in your career: harder than understanding object-oriented or functional programming, harder than browser incompatibilities, harder than tracking down memory leaks in a C program.
Azure chip poobahs notwithstanding. Nailed and well stated, Mr. O’Brien.

A freebie. I must report this to the Bureau of Reclamation.
