Samples for Parallel Programming with the .NET Framework 4

Stephen Toub - MSFT

Along with the release of the .NET Framework 4 Beta 1, we’ve just published a slew of samples that demonstrate using Parallel Extensions in a variety of ways.  You can download these from Code Gallery at https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ParExtSamples.

These samples include raytracers, a sudoku game, an image colorization algorithm, solvers for the n-queens problem, fractal image generators, and more.  The samples include code written to use Parallel Extensions from C#, Visual Basic, F#, and C++/CLI.  They include examples of using the Task Parallel Library, PLINQ, new coordination data structures, and even databinding a WPF UI to a collection that has data stored into it from a background thread. 

On top of all of this, the samples include a project called “Parallel Extensions Extras”, which features a healthy portion of extension methods for .NET 4 types, new data structures to augment what’s being shipped in .NET 4, custom schedulers for TPL, and lots of other goodness.  Definitely worth a perusal.

Enjoy!

    The link to the samples is going to Browse Samples but the samples are nowhere to be found. Help please!

      It looks like the samples from 2009 are no longer available.
