Multi-Core Debug

I was looking through JavaOne conference program and noticed Groovy language and was intrigued by it. But what really got my attention was "Java Platform Performance on Multicore: Better Performance or Bigger Headache?"

AMD is touting their AMD CodeAnalyst™ Performance Analyzer which is proposed as a tool to improve performance of multi-threaded Java program. But based on the above abstract, it seems to be a step closer to using such tools to help debug code.

Where's the Beef for multicore

"Where's The Software To Catch Up To Multicore Computing?" Here's a great intro (and summary):

IBM's chief architect for next-generation systems software wonders how far we'll be able to push the software required to take advantage of supercomputer-class machines.

They obviously haven't figured out how to program for multi-processor systems. [Not that I have any better solutions myself...]
