Majek,
Pervasive Software, out of Austin, is taking another approach and has created a Java framework called DataRush that developers can use to create highly parallel applications w/o any concurrent programming knowledge. I think before skipping the “multiple processors” phase we should see how projects like the Intel App Dev. Toolkit that you mentioned and DataRush framework help us solve
