Stream Programming: Luring Programmers into the Multicore Era

As the computer industry has moved to multicore processors, the historic trend of exponential performance improvements will now depend on ordinary programmers and their ability to parallelize their code. However, most programmers are already overwhelmed by the complexity of modern software and are unwilling to expend extra effort on parallelization. Hence, for programmers to embrace a parallel abstraction, it must come with new capabilities that simplify application development and lure programmers into changing their ways.
