Multicore platforms are transforming the nature of computation. Increasingly, FLOPs are free, but the people who know how to program these petascale, manycore platforms are not. This panel, composed of a diverse set of industry and academic representatives, is focused on presenting and discussing the abstractions, models, and (re-)training necessary to move parallel programming into a broad audience. The panelists, often vigorous competitors, will present the situation from their respective viewpoints, likely fueling a lively discussion of the entire room as has been seen recently in other venues.
