Microsoft and Intel Launch Parallel Computing Research Centers to Accelerate Benefits to Consumers, Businesses
To give you the skinny. Microsoft and Intel are partnering to develop edu programs and further research in an effort to make parallel computing easier and bring it to the mere mortal developer. I definitely get warm and fuzzy's from the affirmation that the problem exists, its real and the big guys see it too.
My favorite quote from the article is:
“We now face the exciting challenge of making parallelism so easy to use that parallel programming becomes synonymous with programming”
- Marc Snir (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign professor of Computer Science)
MS press release
Of course this seems strangely family to the Google and IBM announcement back in October.
IBM press release
My favorite quote from this one was:
"The goal of this initiative is to improve computer science students’ knowledge of highly parallel computing practices to better address the emerging paradigm of large-scale distributed computing. IBM and Google are teaming up to provide hardware, software and services to augment university curricula and expand research horizons. "
