My only knowledge of apps designed to work in multi-core/cpu environments is stuff like Oracle in Solaris/Red Hat on Enterprise workstations. In order for those apps to be optimized to take full advantage of the 32 cpu workstations w/ 256 GB of RAM - an army of coders were employed. Oracle's business depends on optimized I/O. I think our expectations for BoB are way out of wack. Folks want crazy AI, DoD quality FMs, etc.. it won't happen. There just isn't enough man power in Oleg's lab to code the stuff to fully take advantage of the modern day computing power. I would imagine will get something similar to what we've already seen but w/ better eye candy. We may see BoB have a better handle on how to deal with more planes in the air and better terrian but other than that under a very restrictive budget, I wouldn't expect to see things much more advanced that what's already been done.
