This problem still strikes me as "derivative" of the technology and not driven by consumer demand, and I'm disappointed that The Economist could not find a more compelling statement of the problem. Is there one?

To the man with a multi-headed hammer, every problem looks like a multi-headed nail?

An article in the Economist discussing multicore, etc. Doesn't really say much that we do not already know, but interesting to see it discussed at a wider level.

Hi all,
Here is a link to an article about multicore. It's interesting to think how the parallel programming problem is becoming mainstream. Fancy the Economist running an article about Haskell!?

Cheers,
