Multicore computers have arrived on every desktop and industry trends show that multicore processors are here to stay --- there is no way back. Why should software engineers care? Because everyday applications and industry applications need to be parallel in order to run faster on new hardware. It is also possible that the integration of more and more cores onto the same chip might lead to decreasing clock rates, so ignoring parallelism in software could result in applications that slow down with every new processor generation! Needless to say, the software engineering community must not allow this to happen.
Multicore software developers need support over the whole spectrum of software engineering to master the additional difficulties that come with parallelism. In addition, parallel programming needs to become easier and more accessible for less experienced developers. The IWMSE 2010 committee carefully selected the best and most ingenious submissions tackling these problems. The proceedings include these papers discussing approaches and ideas that advance the software engineering methodology for multicore and manycore systems.
