I could really use a linear algebra library, but the GSoC project I'm mentoring is oriented towards creating one and it's now close to usable. (I'd like to thank Cristi Cobzarenco for doing a great job on his GSoC project so far.) Next in line would be high-level MPI wrappers, like boost::mpi, or something functionally similar, like a std.concurrency that works across multiple address spaces. std.parallelism works great for SMP parallelism (which is what it was designed to do), but sometimes I want an easy way to parallelize stuff across address spaces, too.
