Parallelism

    Building applications that are responsive and can exploit parallel hardware poses an important challenge. In particular, enabling applications to execute various tasks in parallel can be difficult if those tasks exhibit read and write conflicts. Revisions are forked and joined…

Microsoft Excel has become an indispensible calculation, prototyping, and simulation tool that handles complex multi-variable models.  A fictitious case study is described where the customer, an insurance underwriter, explores over one trillion scenarios to optimize investments that hedge its…

Stephen Toub presents on implementing parallel patterns using .NET 4.  This 45-minute presentation's material is pulled from Stephen's parallel patterns paper.

Stephen Toub and Charles Torre discuss Parallelism at DevConnections 2010 as part of the Visual Studio 2010 Launch in Las Vegas.This session was recorded live as part of Channel 9 Live at the Visual Studio 2010 Launch from the Bellagio Hotel & Casino on April 12th 2010.

How you can use multi-core and many-core power to increase the performance of your application flexibly – is what Parallel Computing in Visual Studio 2010. It’s flexible as it does not wait for us to change the code based on hardware power. If you are deploying your application to single core…

In case you haven’t realized it, the new trend in computer chip technology is multi-core. This is where most of the speed improvements moving forward will come from on our computers. To take full advantage of this however it is necessary to design your applications using Parallel Programming…

"I have been in the role of the Program Manager for the Developer Track at Tech-Ed 2009 in Berlin this year and decided to run some interviews with some of the speakers in my track. I am talking with Steve Teixeira about Parallel Computing  and what new VS 2010 Tools we have for you to…

Stephen Toub walks through several sample applications that utilize Parallel LINQ (PLINQ).  PLINQ, built into the .NET Framework 4, enables developers to parallelize LINQ to Objects queries with minimal coding effort.  The sample applications explored are available for download at…

Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) released this week during PDC09. Rx uses Parallel Extensions for .NET (Px) for all of it's concurrent and parallel computing needs. How is it using Px, specifically? What's going on here and why? Stephen Toub, PM on the Px team, and Wes Dyer,…
