In 2005, Sutter published an article titled "The Free Lunch Is Over"<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Sutter |first=H. |date=2005 |title=The free lunch is over: A fundamental turn toward concurrency in software |magazine=Dr. Dobb's Journal |volume=30 |issue=3 |url=http://www.gotw.ca/publications/concurrency-ddj.htm}}</ref> that claimed that [[microprocessor]] serial-processing speed was reaching a physical limit leading to two main consequences:
* Processor manufacturers would focus on products that better support [[Thread (computer science)|multithreading]] (such as multi-core processors), and
* Software developers would be forced to develop massively [[Thread (computer science)|multithreaded]] programs as a way to better use such processors.
The article is seen as highly influential in subsequent system design.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Miller |first1=Paul |title=Why would you want a 1,000 core processor? |url=https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/6/23/12016306/kilocore-1000-core-processor-uc-davis |access-date=12 September 2023 |work=The Verge |date=June 23, 2016|quote=Are you familiar with the highly influential piece for programmers by Herb Sutter called "The Free Lunch Is Over"?}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Schirrmeister |first1=Frank |title=Toward A Lingua Franca For Intelligent System Design |url=https://semiengineering.com/toward-a-lingua-franca-for-intelligent-system-design/ |website=Semiconductor Engineering |date=26 September 2019 |access-date=12 September 2023}}</ref><ref name="day three" />
