Abstract
There are two approaches to address the solution, Hardware approach and software
approach. The hardware approach toward multicore processors is influenced largely by
technology limitations of wire delays, power efficiency and difficulty in getting
Instruction Level parallelism. The evolution in software approach has lead us toward
cloud computing. Today is the time where we have to think of multicore processors in
emerging evolutionary concept of cloud. In this paper the misconceptions associated with
the issue that the software is driven by hardware, Multicore processor everywhere means
performance and multicore means the parallelism and hence the optimum speed, are
raised. The Trends which are the driving force toward these misconceptions are addressed
and a justifiable view of future system is presented.
There are two dominating trends emerging today, the Hardware trend that is increased
multicore organization and the second is software trend which is the concept of Cloud
computing.
