The recent transformation from an environment where gains in computational performance came from increasing clock frequency and other hardware engineering innovations, to an environment where gains are realized through the deployment of ever increasing numbers of modest performance cores has profoundly changed the landscape of scientific application programming. This exponential increase in core count represents both an opportunity and a challenge: access to petascale simulation capabilities and beyond will require that this concurrency be efficiently exploited.
