For the past 40 years, computer equipment has been steadily growing smaller and faster. Now, however, we are approaching fundamental physical limits that will prevent these improvements from continuing at the same pace. In the future, the way to obtain more computational power will be increased parallelism: computer code will be executed by many "threads" simultaneously and cooperatively to solve a single problem. In 2005, Sutter and Larus announced the "concurrency revolution." They wrote that concurrency will start to play a central role in software development in the near future due to the shift in computer architecture from uniprocessors to multicore processors, which are designed specifically to run many threads on a single chip. The hardware industry has started to invest seriously in the development of multicore processors. Machines

在过去的40年里，计算机设备一直在稳步地变小和变快。然而，现在我们正在接近基本的物理极限，这将阻止这些改进以同样的速度继续下去。在未来，获得更多计算能力的方法将是增加并行性：计算机代码将由许多“线程”同时协作执行，以解决单个问题。2005年，Sutter和Larus宣布了“并发革命”。他们写道，并发性将在不久的将来开始在软件开发中发挥核心作用，因为计算机体系结构从单处理器转向多核处理器，多核处理器专门设计用于在单个芯片上运行多个线程。硬件行业已经开始认真投资于多核处理器的开发。机器
