Words like multicore, manycore, Moore's law ending, have been around for more than a decade. How do these words describe the current status quo of computer architecture? How do they give a glimpse of the future? In this paper, we will present the status quo of the current multicore/manycore processors, and the expected future directions in light of several advances both in process technology and in system software.
