Stephen Toub presents on implementing parallel patterns using .NET 4. This 45-minute presentation's material is pulled from Stephen's
parallel patterns paper.
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…
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…
Microsoft Research recently announced the availability, under
Academic Licensing, of
Dryad, an infrastructure which allows a programmer to use the resources of a computer cluster or a data center for running data-parallel programs.
A Dryad programmer can use thousands of machines, each of…
Parallel Computing Platform team members Stephen Toub, Rick Molloy, Don McCrady and Dana Groff join me for a chat about the differences and similarities in their
conceptual approach to designing and building concurrent programming abstractions targeting .NET developers and native…
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…
"Concurrent Basic extends Visual Basic with stylish asynchronous concurrency constructs derived from the join calculus. Our design advances earlier MSRC
work on Polyphonic C#, Comega and the Joins Library. Unlike its C# based predecessors, CB adopts a simple event-like syntax…
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…
