How has Windows evolved, as a general purpose operating system and at the lowest levels, in Windows 7? Who better to talk to than Technical Fellow and Windows Kernel guru Mark Russinovich? Here, Mark enlightens us on the new kernel constructs in Windows 7 (and, yeah, we do wander up into user…

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,…

Join Josh and Steve as they demonstrate how to use various concurrency-safe Collections classes.Collections and related constructs are new with .NET4 and Visual Studio 2010.Learn more about the System.Collections.Concurrent namespace and keep abreast of Parallel Computing tools and…

Join Danny Shih as he introduces the TaskCompletionSource<TResult> type.  He’ll cover basic usage and walk through a full scenarioLearn more about the .NET Framework 4 and keep abreast of Parallel Computing tools and techniques via the Concurrency Dev Center.See all…

You've learned about many of the new features of the latest version of the Windows kernel in the Mark Russinovich Inside Windows 7 conversation here on Channel 9. One of Mark’s favorite kernel innovations is the way the Windows 7 kernel manages scheduling of threads and the underlying…

Join Josh and Steve as they demonstrate how to use the new .NET4 BlockingCollection<T> class in class Producer/Consumer parallel computing scenarios.BlockingCollection<T> is one of many new thread-safe data-structures available with .NET4 and Visual Studio 2010.Learn more about the…

Join Bill Colburn as he demonstrates useful features of the Concurrency Visualizer available in VS2010.   He discusses visualization of parallel-for loops, I/O reports, sorting the display of threads, and viewing thread affinity.Check-out the following additional…

Join Josh and Steve as they demonstrate how to use the new .NET4 Lazy<T> class in optimized object initialization scenarios.Lazy<T> is one of many new thread-safe data-structures available with .NET4 and Visual Studio 2010.Learn more about the  System.Collections.Concurrent…

Join Bill Colburn once again as he demonstrates useful analysis techniques within the VS2010 Concurrency Visualizer.  In this screencast, he demonstrates thread synchronization reports, unblocking stacks, and how to view crucial call sites.  He also demonstrates how to get to the…
