Join James Rapp once again as he dives deeper into the new parallel performance analysis tools available in Visual Studio 2010.  In this video, he discusses ways of managing the quantity of data presented by the profiler and how to obtain meaningful statistics about your parallel…

In Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, you were introduced to new analysis and profiling capabilities (Parallel Profiling and Performance Tools) designed to make concurrency understandable and, ultimately, debuggable. Today, with the release of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, we introduce…

Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth   Introduction: In Visual Studio 2010, the Parallel Computing team has delivered APIs and tools for developers wanting to build applications that take advantage of multiple cores. This video provides a glimpse on the managed APIs, debugging windows and…

UPDATED for the VS2010 Beta 2 release Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth Introduction: In the next version of .NET and C++ that ship with Visual Studio 2010, a new task-based programming model is introduced. In this short video you will learn about Parallel Tasks, a new debugger window…

UPDATED for the VS2010 Beta 2 release Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth Introduction: As developers try to take advantage of more and more cores in their applications, ultimately more and more threads will execute their code at the same time. When debugging such applications, there is a need…

Not familiar with Axum? Here's a C9 interview with the Axum team to refresh your memory (it's a domain specific language for concurrent programming, formerly known as "Maestro", developed by the Parallel Computing Platform team). Here, Axum PM Josh Phillips walks us through…
