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.Panelists include: Benedict Gaster (AMD) Kevin Goldsmith (Adobe Systems Inc.) Tom Murphy (Contra Costa College) Steven Parker (NVIDIA) Michael Wrinn (Intel Corporation) Evan Smyth (DreamWorks) Matt Wolf (Georgia Tech)
