To scale to a large number of cores, architectures will have to go MIMD (Multiple Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream). This is the model that actor-based message passing concurrency systems like Erlang are based on. The internet itself can be seen as one large MIMD machine.
I wouldn't put stock in MISD oriented solutions such as transactional memory or elaborate functional programming compiler techniques. Shared memory systems simply won't survive the exponential rise in core counts.
