CCR

The Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) is a lightweight port-based concurrency library for C# 2.0 developed by George Chrysanthakopoulos in the Advanced Strategies group at Microsoft. Here, we have a deep discussion about CCR with George, a Software Architect, and Satnam Singh, Architect.…

Do you remember our introduction to the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) with George Chrysanthakopoulos? What about our discussion with the team that implemented a robotics framework on top of it (Microsoft Robotics Studio)? Well, now we dive into the CCR API itself and learn…

Jeffrey Richter’s Power Threading Library contains his AsyncEnumerator class which uses C# iterators to allow developers to perform asynchronous operations via an easy to use synchronous programming model. For those of you who can remember our conversations on CCR from years back, the use of…

Get an overview of Microsoft's CCR and DSS Toolkit 2008 and the technologies it contains for building loosely-coupled, highly concurrent, and distributed applications. Learn how the technologies are already being used and get a run-down of how to evaluate whether the technologies may be right for…

We recently went back to visit the Microsoft Robotics team to see what they're up to. As expected, they are very busy innovating! This is a four part series where we learn about what's new in CCR (and watch George code!), get a demo of the Visual Programming Language's debugger (outrageously …

In this episode of Expert to Expert, programming language designer Erik Meijer chats with CCR creator George Chrysanthakopoulos. We've spent a good deal of time on Channel 9 addressing the Concurrency Problem and the various approaches Microsoft is taking in an effort to help…

The great George Chrysanthakopoulos (CCR creator) chats with us briefly about the new CCR and DSS Visual Toolkit. You first learned about CCR right here on Channel 9. Since that time it's had a very interesting evolution. The CCR found itslef at the core of the Microsoft Robotics engine on the…

MySpace has done some pretty amazing things with the Robotic Developer Studio.  When they found out it contained a very powerful component, the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR), the architects built it into the architecture of MySpace, the largest .NET site in the…

During my last visit to the Microsoft Redmond Campus Trevor Taylor from the Microsoft Robotics team was kind enough to talk to me about the Microsoft Robotics platform and in particular Visual Programming Language or VPL. Of course when you talk aout robotics there is always an opportunity to talk…

Bob Familiar interviews Stephen Tarmey of Tyco Software House on how he discovered the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime in the Robotics Studio SDK and used it to implement a high throughput asynchronous I/O pattern.
