Executive Summary
The era of multicore computing is here, and application development teams must embrace new programming approaches to reap the full performance and economic benefits of the new hardware. The new "multicore programming" approach will combine multithreading and parallel/concurrent designs that allow simultaneous processing of threads and/or tasks by multiple cores. Concurrent computing is familiar to some app development professionals, but most have little or no experience with parallel computing. Application development professionals will need a strategy for adopting these new approaches, frameworks, and tools as they emerge, adapting the patterns and methods they use today, and evolving their application portfolios to ride the performance curve promised by Moore's Law in the multicore era.
