I think for many types of code pure MPI code would be much easier to develop, granted, but an auto parallel compiler can choose to use either type (for certain types of codes where the compiler would work at all). Am I speaking the obvious? Where it suits, the multithreaded code can be much faster than MPI code as it can avoid copying large messages. Depends very much on what type of communication there is in the algorithm. Maybe Greg is right for the majority of X kind of code, I wouldn't have a problem with that statement, but in general I'm quite doubtful that there can be no performance gains.
