This week's podcast is a session from ESUG 2009 - Arden Thomas' "Multi-Core Playground" talk. In this presentation Arden spoke about some experimental work in Cincom Smalltalk toward supporting multi-core and multi-cpu systems in a straightforward fashion. That work is shipping with VW 7.7 and OS 8.2 as "preview" code - so in a few weeks, you'll be able to take a look at it yourself. You can download Arden's slides here
