Welcome back to another Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 Week video. In this latest installment, we catch up with Stephen Toub, Senior Program Manager on the Parallel Computing Platform team.

Stephen takes us through a whirlwind tour of many different Parallel Extensions features, showing them in action. Covered are features like Parallel LINQ, Parallel.For, the Task Parallel Library, and some of the new Coordination Data Structures.

Enjoy!

This is another Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 Week Video. For other Visual Studio 2010 videos, check out the Visual Studio topic area here on Channel 9.

My hunch is now that the 'interesting' parts of PLINQ are done and it's mostly perf and bug squashing that Joe's onto the Next Thing. Given some of his recently blog posting one wonders if he isn't looking at Type System support for concurrency and notions of mutability.

Joe's definitely still around. He's the dev lead for our Parallel Extensions team.
