The first thought was to begin looking around at programming languages and multi-core. So, going to MIT (active in multi-core research) they had a great presentation posted here. Check out slide 12 - this shows a picture that shows a prediction that multi-core will almost hit 512 cores just before 2020. This figure was taken out of Saman Amarasinghe presentation (click the link above). Here is the slide that is very interesting....This presentation should be reviewed by anyone interested in where the technology is going and Saman Amarasinghe did a great job pulling a solid overview together. His concluding slide peaks to the point where we have an opportunity to really tackle this tough multi-core problem since no existing solution is currently in place. Also, many of the slides hit previous concerns in my original prediction. Having read this presentation, I am confident that we will see a break-through in the new few years that will fundamentally change our approach.
