I think the thing that's overlooked is that we're kinda up to the (economic) wall of Moore's law and the only way to improve performance is to go wide. So yeah, it's a lot harder to write programs that are spread out over a multitude of processors. At the same time, tools have improved as well. If you look GPU's, there's no chance in hell you would have been able to do that without parallelism / multiple cores in hell. I really, really like the premise of the GA144 but what it really needs, like so many other things, is a killer app or something that's a niche and can only be handled by a large number of cores.. -Y
