If you read the article, you will see that Mrs. Crawford does not even come close to saying that "Software is at Dead End". She says software needs to catch up with the hardware.
Computers have more and more processors (and different kinds of processors, like GPUs), and currently most software isn't designed for that kind of environment. IBM has developed some clever ways to program these types of systems in a "general purpose" way.
That's the worst summary of a headline that I've ever read.
