Challenges for the manycore era: From dawn to dusk(?)

Summary form only given. The dawn of manycores begun many years ago. Technology offers many ways to find a point - given by the application scenario - within the triangle performance, reliability, and power consumption. These factors mainly ascertain the effectiveness of a microarchitecture. The dusk of the manycore era is bound by the technology which will come out on top, an activity which is not always determined by pure candor. The challenges can be summarized in two main categories, hard- and software. Within this talk, we will itemize these categories, showing challenges, current solutions and future possibilities. Within the excitement and rapid development of technologies, it seems reasonable to pause for a moment and to recapitulate and summarize different technologies under another point of view: sustainability.
