Consider a simplified version of Luke Hoban's LINQ ray tracervar Xs = Enumerable.Range(1, screenWidth);var Ys = Enumerable.Range(1, screenHeight); var sequentialQuery =   from x in Xsfrom y in Ysselect new { X = x, Y = y, Color = TraceRay(x, y) }; If the screen width is much larger than the screen height, we would choose to para...

From time to time, we get a question about whether we intend for Parallel Extensions to target Silverlight.  The simple answer is: Not Yet.Here’s a more complete answer: Not for Silverlight 2.0, at least.  Rich Lander from the CLR team described the Silverlight compatibility story very nicely over on his blog.  I will summarize...

Have you found any bugs, unknown issues (vs. known issues), or any wish list items?  Go to our Connect site, sign up for the Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework connection, and start giving us direct feedback.   While the blog comments and forums are a great way to raise concerns, ask how-to questions, and engage in a dialogue,...

If you look in the PLINQ samples in the December 2007 CTP, you'll see a parallel implementation of Luke Hoban's LINQ ray tracer.  The sample parallelizes the ray tracer by changing very few lines of code.   Luke's original query started as follows: from y in Enumerable.Range(0, screenHeight)For our sample, we've changed that to: from...
