Stephen Toub - MSFT

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 ...

The Microsoft Biology Initiative (MBI) is a combined project in Microsoft Research focused on two components: the Microsoft Biology Foundation (MBF) and the Microsoft Biology Tools (MBT). Both the framework and the tools are related to the areas of computation biology, genomics, and bioinformatics. MBF is a language-neutral ...

Scaling out PLINQ: DryadLINQ at PDC09 and Supercomputing09

November 11, 2009 Nov 11, 2009 11/11/09

Stephen Toub - MSFT

PLINQ enables developers to scale up computations in order to leverage the multiple cores available in modern hardware. For many problem domains, this is quite useful and sufficient. What happens, however, when a workload being processed is so big that even a manycore machine is insufficient to adequately handle the load? This can be the case ...

Patterns for Parallel Programming with the .NET Framework

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. &...
