Parallelism

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…

CS undergrads Jen Solyanik, Wes Rupert and Stephen Grugett join us to discuss their experiences and accomplishments as summer 2011 interns at Microsoft. They were part of a team of engineering interns whose technical challenge was to design and implement parallel visualization technology…

The Parallel Computing Concurrency Runtime team write tools for the C++ community that make it easier to write reliable, performant and scalable concurrent and parallel code. In this conversation, Mike Chu , Dana Groff, Artur Laksberg, and Vinod Koduvayoor Subramanian talk…

  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 much…

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…
