ACM Queue Feature ArticlesIn-Depth Analysis of Future Trends in ComputingThe Hennessy-Patterson Interview, part 2- April 10, 2007 Reader response to our interview with computer architecture pioneers John Hennessy and David Patterson was overwhelming, so we decided to make the entire interview available as a Queuecast. In part two of this two-part series, Hennessy and Patterson continue their discussion about today's Holy Grail of computing-how to easily and efficiently program highly scalable processors-and what roles universities, industry, and the open source community can play in reaching it.http://acmqueue.com/modules.php?name=Queuecasts&id=25 |
