I hope all have noted the abstract for David May's Keynote paper at CPA
next week ...

  http://www.cs.surrey.ac.uk/host/cpa2007/programme.html

For the abstracts, scroll down to below the timetable.  David is talking
hundreds of cores, :).  You will also be excited by the new ideas for
(very very very) fine-grain concurrency being expressed by Tony Hoare -
in his Keynote address that opens the conference.

See you next week!

Cheers,

Peter.
