A couple weeks back, we started filming a bunch of Channel9 videos about various aspects of the Parallel Computing team. This is the larger team responsible for Parallel Extensions to .NET, among other things. We'll of course spend some time on Parallel Extensions in upcoming videos.
But who better to kick it off than Burton Smith, a legend in the parallel computing arena?
On General Purpose Supercomputing and the History and Future of Parallelism

Burton's the kind of guy that you run into when meandering the hallways, have a 5 minute conversation, and walk away with at least 20 relevant and fascinating papers on parallel computing to go off and read. But now instead of reading 20 papers, you can just go watch the video.
