摘要：
In this talk, I will first give an overview on the merging trend between the GPU architecture and CPU architecture. I will then show the implication of this trend to the future software applications and programming model. Then I will also talk about the challenges in the multi-core computing world and the upcoming war between CPU and GPU on who will be the dominate processing force for tomorrow's computing.
