Abstract :
The 2007 Design Automation Conference (DAC) had a special session entitled "1000 Core Chips," which was organized by Radu Marculescu (Carnegie Mellon University) and Li-Shiuan Peh (Princeton University). This session examined some of the ramifications of multicore chip design from four perspectives: technology, architecture, programming, and design automation. In this roundtable, held immediately following the conference session, the presenters expounded on the future of multicore chips with respect to education, programming languages, operating systems, and design automation.
