On Code Gallery, we have a plethora of samples that highlight aspects of the .NET Framework 4 that help with writing scalable and efficient parallel applications. This post examines each of those samples, providing an overview of what each provides.
We've refreshed our samples for parallel programming with the .NET Framework 4. Thanks to the gracious assistance of the fabulous Lisa Feigenbaum and others on the Visual Basic team, in this refresh the majority of the samples are now available not only in C# but also in Visual Basic. The samples are available for download at https://code.msd...
Attendees at PDC09 this past week were privy to quite a few sessions on parallel computing. Now that the videos of these sessions are online, you can view them as well from the comfort of your own home. Here are some of the key parallelism-related sessions from this past week:Overview Managed code in Visual Studio 2010 ...
It’s awesome to see the Reactive Extensions to .NET (Rx) live on the DevLabs site. If you haven’t checked out this exciting project, we urge you to do so. Not only is it cool and useful technology, but the download includes a back ported (and unsupported) release of Parallel Extensions for the .NET Framework 3.5 in the form ...
The new parallel debugger windows in Visual Studio 2010 (Parallel Tasks and Parallel Stacks) have had many fixes and updates. I have refreshed the existing content and also added new material for Beta 2. Find links to all of it from my blog post on Parallel Debugging.CheersDaniel
I've recently written a detailed paper, "Patterns for Parallel Programming: Understanding and Applying Parallel Patterns with the .NET Framework 4", on implementing a variety of common parallel patterns with the .NET Framework 4. The paper is now live in the Microsoft Download Center, and you can grab it from https://www.microsoft.com/do...
Included in the .NET 4 Framework Beta 2 is a more robust and faster version of PLINQ. Between B1 and B2, PLINQ changes have mainly been under the covers, so hopefully no need to rewrite any of your applications to see the improvements. 1. Many improvements to performance and scalability2. &...

We've posted a whole bunch of samples on Code Gallery showcasing how to use the new parallelism support in the .NET Framework 4. You can find them at https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ParExtSamples. Enjoy!
Last week, I had the privilege of touring around Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan, speaking about the new parallel computing support in Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4. Many folks I spoke with were interested in getting a copy of the slide deck I used, so I’ve attached it to this blog post. Enjoy! Toub_ParallelismTour...
