Parallel software is mastered, often, only by those who put up huge designed-in fences to partition software. That or those who run languages with innate safety but wasteful and non-pipelined code. We've finally tapped the Moore well too long.

Analysis tools, code-that-analyses code accurately, will finally need to get off the ground if we're going to get out of this gap. Otherwise, we're just going to see hundreds to thousands of hardware-supported, virtualized, inefficient pseudo-threads and tons of message passing analogies.

Shared memory contention is a hardware-solved problem at this level of integration. Shared memory code never lives up to its possible speed in most programming, except for the OS.

I'm entering grad school for this. There's more funding than there are students! Let's get on it!
