Hardware Intrinsics in .NET Core

Several years ago, we decided that it was time to support SIMD code in .NET. We introduced the System.Numerics namespace with Vector2, Vector3, Vector4, Vector<T>, and related types. These types expose a general-purpose API for creating, accessing, and operating on them using hardware vector instructions (when available). They also ...

This type and the derived Task<TResult> have long since become a staple of .NET programming, key aspects of the asynchronous programming model introduced with C# 5 and its async / await keywords. In this post, I'll ...

Troubleshooting ASP.NET Core Performance Problems

This is a guest post by Mike Rousos I recently had an opportunity to help a developer with an ASP.NET Core app that was functionally correct but slow when under a heavy user load. We found a few different factors contributing to the app's slowdown while investigating, but the majority of the issues were some variation of blocking threads that...

Improve website performance by optimizing images

We all want our web applications to load as fast as possible to give the best possible experience to the users. One of the steps to achieve that is to make sure the images we use are as optimized as possible. If we can reduce the file size of the images then we can significantly reduce the weight of the website. This is important for various ...

I hope it will make for an interesting read, and offer some insight into the sorts of optimization opportunities we have our ...
