Herb Sutter presents C++ Concurrency. This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012. Get Herb's slides for this session. Herb says: I've spoken and written on these topics before. Here's what's different about this talk: Brand new: This material goes beyond what I've written and taught…

Martin Thompson is the creator of Disruptor, a concurrent programming framework. He's passionate about solving hard problems - like writing scalable concurrent software systems. His session at YOW! - Tackling the Folklore Surrounding High Performance Computing - was excellent. You'll be able to see…

I was able to attend C++ and Beyond 2011 and it was a tremendous experience. The technical depth and C++ goodness was profound and lasted for 3 whole days (and two evenings). Thanks Andrei Alexandrescu, Scott Meyers and Herb Sutter for allowing me to crash your affair with my camera…

This 15-minute video provides a high-level tour through some of the functionality available in the new TPL Dataflow library (System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.dll), an early preview of which was released as part of the Visual Studio Async CTP, available for download at http://msdn.com/vstudio/async.

Orleans is a Microsoft Research (MSR) project and managed (.NET) software framework for building client + cloud applications. As outlined in the recently released paper on the topic: Orleans defines an actor-like model of isolated grains that communicate through asynchronous messages and…

    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…

Madan Musuvathi and Sebastian Burckhardt, two Researchers at the Research in Software Engineering team (RiSE), explain and demo a new testing tool called Cuzz. As you will see in this video, Cuzz stands for "Concurrency fuzzing." Cuzz is a very effective tool for…

This screencast with Chris Bowen is an overview of writing parallel code using the new classes and features available in .NET Framework 4 and the tools in Visual Studio 2010.  Based on a session given for the Northeast Roadshow, this walks through the basics of parallel…
