Feb 21, 2008 at 8:29 PMStarting to fool around with tpl and did a small program to investigate IO. Somewhat real in that I'm working on a purge of old files (.eml's) for a customer.
I'm copying ~ 5000 files to a directory then deleting them. Not very interesting but close to what the customer needs done.
I found that with the sequential loop (there are other ways in system.io to do this besides a loop!) it took ~ 11 seconds and the paralelll loop took 6 seconds on my dual core laptop.
I don't have a 4 core machine, I suspect that adding a third processor would not help much. I'm assumng that the first thread blocks for I/O then the second thread can queue up another I/O and back and forth but having 3 or 4 processors would not necessarily do any better.
The copy takes most of the time.
For Each FI In DirSrc.GetFiles
FI.CopyTo(Path.Combine(Me.FilePath, FI.Name))

vs.
Parallel.ForEach(DirSrc.GetFiles, Function(Fix) Fix.CopyTo(Path.Combine(Me.FilePath, Fix.Name))) Which brings up the subject of good tools to see what is really happening...Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell - A look into Microsoft's Bay Area Research Center, Part I
