What the industry is doing in multicore with the Draeger Grocer Store Experiment. The conjecture is that perhaps we are pursuing too many ‘solutions’ to the problems of multicore software development and as a result are confusing customers.
All of these potential solutions are needed and inevitable. Over time, the successful techniques will emerge; customers will move toward and employ the best ones. Now it would not be fun to be on the side of one of these losing technologies so the question is how can one help encourage their particular technology to win. This is where a multi-pronged strategy and tactical approach is needed. Here are some thoughts on some items that are typically thought of as lower priorities compared to the obvious goodness of your particular tech:
* Ease-of-use
* Easy to understand
* Education
* Open Standards
