Parallel Computing

What's the C# team up to these days? Who's on the C# 4.0 design team, anyway? With the looming problem of manycore facing developers now and certainly in the near future (to a much greater extent - programming for 80 core (asymmetric to boot) processors, anyone?). I thought it was time to…

It's always a pleasure to get a chance to sit down and geek out with Anders Hejlsberg. Anders is a Microsoft Technical Fellow (a Technical Fellow is the highest ranking technical position at Microsoft) and programming language design master. He's the creator of C# and one of the founders…

The great Burton Smith, Microsoft Technical Fellow and an international leader in high-performance computer architecture and programming languages for parallel computing joins functional programming purist and language design guru Erik Meijer to discuss several major  themes…

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…

Joe Duffy spends a lot of time thinking about the future of concurrent programming and parallelism. In his role as Lead Developer in the Parallel Computing Platform team, Joe is the creator of PLINQ and a key contributor to many of the managed (.NET) concurrency incubations happening…

Here, we continue our exploration of the morphology of Windows 7 on Going Deep with windows kernel architect Dave Probert. You may remember him from an early four part episode of Going Deep where he teaches us about general purpose operating system architectures and history: Part 1,…

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…

Concurrency is a problem that faces all developers as we move to the age of ManyCore processor architectures. Managing state is an important aspect of programming generally and for parallel programming especially. The great Brian Beckman demonstrates three ways of labeling a binary tree with…

In this session, Don McCrady discusses how C++ programmers can fully utilize multicore in their applications using the Concurrency Runtime (ConcRT), the Parallel Pattern Library (PPL), and the Asynchronous Agents Library that ship with Visual Studio 2010. Download Don's slidedeck for…

Welcome to another edition of Checking In with Erik Meijer! This time we subject native (C++) developer Rick Molloy to Erik's friendly interrogation. You've met Rick before (here, here, here, and here). As usual, this Erik-led conversation involves several forays into technical…
