Wouldn't you know it. Just as we're starting to wrap our minds around the idea of parallel programming and multicore processors, Intel ups the ante with Larrabee, a many-core architecture that has the potential to change the game. This doesn't mean that the concepts of multithreading and parallel programming can be ignored. Quite the contrary. If anything, thinking parallel and having a firm grasp on multithreading will be more critical than ever -- especially if you intend on tackling Larrabee.
