The computing landscape is at a major crossroads. Moore's law is running out of steam for uniprocessor systems, multi-core processors are on the desktop, and clusters are becoming both more affordable and easier to use. Once limited to only very high-end systems, High Performance Computing is becoming mainstream. This talk will describe the support that's available in Visual Studio for developing applications that exploit these parallelsystems using industry standard techniques. In conclusion, future directions for parallel application development will be described.
