We spent some time with the.NET 4.5 team earlier in the year. You can see the series of conversational interviews we did here.

The Bing front end is powered by .NET 4.5 and Windows Server 2012 RC. This constitutes a large number of servers doing a lot of work. How do some of the new .NET 4.5 features (like multi-core JIT and background GC) scale? Bing's a rather good test case for both .NET 4.5 and WS 2012 given the volume of requests it serves.

Topics include:

Pinning and Heap Corruption (and strategies for alternative approaches to pinning).

Multicore JIT

Performance tuning and PerfView

Background GC

As usual, this is conversation that happened as it did. There will be a few random turns, but roads lead to time well spent! Thanks for being sports, Maoni, Vance and Mukul!

Tune in. Enjoy

Here, she tells us about background GC for server-side .NET applications and services and also touches on improvements in large heap management, generally in the next release of .NET.

In the next release of .NET (4.5), managed server applications and services will reap the benefits of background collections. This is a feature the CLR team is excited about and for good reason. It means less pausing, better overall performance. In the 4.0 release, the client CLR supported background GC. You learned about that here (from Maoni). Moving this feature to the cloud (well, to the server-side) means more performance and less pausing for ASP.NET applications, for example. This is great news.

Tune in. Enjoy.

How does GC, work, generally? Why is it important? The GC inside of the CLR is of a specfic type - ephemeral, concurrent (the server version has always been concuurent and now with Background GC on the client in CLR 4, GC is concurrent on the client as well, but there are differences...). 

Patrick takes us through the basics of GC up to the current state of the art in this outstanding conversation with one of the fathers of .NET. Of course, given the other expert in the room - programming language designer Erik Meijer, we have to talk about the impact that dynamic and functional languages have on the design of general purpose GCs as well as future directions of the CLR's GC, generally. What's Patrick working on these days? 

Patrick will be presenting at PDC09 in the the Technical Leaders track. His talk, Future of GC, should not be missed. This conversation is a great introduction to what Patrick will be talking about and we highly recommend you watch this before you attend his session (or watch his session after the show shortly after the PDC ends - like last year, all sessions will be available on-demand...).
