FYI.  I just started reading the paper, so I don't yet know how good it
is.  But at least one major player has made it quite clear that the
trend toward increasing the number of cores in a CPU will be increasing.

Folks might be interested in "The Case for a Factored Operating System
(fos)", MIT-CSAIL-TR-2008-060, which was published today at
<http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/42894>.  It comes out of a long line of
research into many-core processor and software design.  (It's a dozen
pages long and presents nothing concrete, which is presumably why it's
a TR and not a journal article.)
