Challenges in Multi-Core Era – Part 1
http://techdoertimes.com –
A few years ago, in 2005, Herb Sutter published an article in Dr. Dobb’s Journal , “The Free Lunch Is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software”. He talked about the need to start developing software considering concurrency to fully exploit continuing exponential microprocessors throughput gains.

Java 7 Will Evolve to Fine-grained Parallelism
http://www.ddj.com –
Java's development team understands the multicore revolution and is working hard in offering a new concurrency framework taking into account the new possibilities offered by the new microprocessors. Hence, JDK 7 (Java Development Kit 7) will offer the fork-join framework in order to help Java developers to tackle the multicore revolution using this popular programming language.
