Parallel Path from Berkeley, CA
I got this from ACM Tech News. Look at the links below the article. They lead to some cool resources.
Parallel Computing Lab, Berkeley, CA
Download the presentation from this page. It has a wealth of useful information.
Parallel Programming Model Watch
There is not just one model for parallel programming. I watch this page (with InfoMinder)
A dwarf is an algorithmic method that captures a pattern of computation and communication.
I blogged about 13 dwarfs last year. I guess, they now changed the title to Dwarf Mine to keep the idea of mining more patterns.
Intel, Microsoft have lots of efforts going on in this area. They fund research (like this Berkeley paralabs initiative. Sun is active too.
Parallel Programming will have the deepest impact on a wide variety of solutions to computational problems. It is an exciting area to follow.

Jiten,
You are welcome. Thanks for visiting the blog and posting a comment.
There was an earlier post http://dorai.wordpress.com/2007/06/01/thirteen-dwarfs-computational-kernels-of-future-applications/ and this is a follow-up.
This is a fascinating area and very important for the future of software development like WebScale computing, visualization and others.
