Distributed shared memory perhaps, but thousand core machines are certainly not UMA SMP. It's simply not possible for them to be. > OCaml is already ~8x slower than F# on today's eight core desktops. You don't half talk a load of nonsense. MPI OCaml programs on 8 cores are just as fast, _and_ crucially can scale over clusters and to future multicore machines.
