    Multicore CPUs are likely to kill C.
    IMHO, as long as one can spin any thread in C, having multicore CPUs should be transparent. It is duty of the underlaying multi-core-aware OS to manage your C threads onto multi-core/multi-processor platform.

    ... These aren't so important in a single thread, but they are when you introduce parallelism.
    These concepts have been in play ever since. Using synchronization object and taking multi-threading precautions will perfectly do it for C as well. Posix anyone? PThread libs? OpenMPI?

    1- ILOM on x64 servers can operated via IPMI 2.0, which provides simple yet very sophisticated capabilities. 2- all X4000 series have BIOS default for "Restore on A/C power Loss" set to "Last power state" to ensures user's requirement. 3- KVM-over-IP is an integrated and simple ILOM feature in Sun x64 servers.
