8. Summary Challenge #1: exploit hardware –Parallelism, sharing maximized simultaneously –Infrastructure to parallel thinking&programming Challenge #2: serve sciences –Reduce complexity through abstraction –Manage large datasets on large computers

9. “Multicore: This is the one which will have the biggest impact on us. We have never had a problem to solve like this. A breakthrough is needed in how applications are done on multicore devices.” – Bill Gates “It’s time we rethought some of the basics of computing. It’s scary and lots of fun at the same time.” – Burton Smith
