The thorniest problem of the computer industry will be addressed by Professor David May, architect of the Inmos Transputer, Professor of Computer Science at Bristol University and co-founder and CTO of XMOS Semiconductor.
May will argue that it is easy to use multi-core architectures to realize a wide range of applications during a presentation at the 4th annual Programmable Hardware Systems event to be held at The IET, Savoy Place, London, 8-9th October.
“Multicore design just isn’t as complicated or difficult as most people make it out to be”, says May, “by starting with a powerful but simple architecture, and coupling it with intuitive design tools, the great potential of multi-core devices can be quickly exploited.”

Multicore programming UN-explained!
Summary of article: Everyone else is wrong, but it’s easy.
However, there is NO explanation!
Grrrrr!
