I posted about changes we've made to the Task Parallel Library since we published the MSDN Magazine article outlining its design. In this post, I'll do the same thing for PLINQ. Most of the October 2007 article on PLINQ is still accurate. After all, PLINQ is largely an implementation of the .NET Standard Query Operators...
Introduced in Visual Studio 2005, Code Snippets allow you to quickly insert reusable blocks of code into your project. For example, if you want to quickly write a for loop in C#, you can simply type "for" into your code file, and IntelliSense shows you the "for" code snippet: Now you press the tab key twice, and Visual ...
There are some great discussions going on over at the Parallel Extensions forum on MSDN. Download the CTP, try out the bits, head on over to the forums, and get involved! We'd love to hear from you...
Community Technology Preview (CTP) releases from Microsoft typically provide early looks at the technologies a team is working on. Frequently, CTP quality is nowhere near what folks might expect from Beta releases and the like, and that's ok. The idea is to give all of you in the community a look at what we're working on, giving ...
Here are known correctness bugs as of our December 2007 CTP release...
There's a new Parallel Computing developer center on MSDN: "Microsoft’s Parallel Computing developer center is dedicated to providing information, ideas, community, and technology to developers to make it easier to write programs that perform and scale well on parallel hardware." Check it out! There are already a plethora of ...
PLINQ is a very cool technology, and I believe it will prove useful for parallelizing operations in a wide range of important scenarios. Moreover, I believe that the programming model it provides will enable a wide-range of developers to easily take advantage of concurrency in their applications. However, one of the risks ...
Joe Duffy, our dev lead, appeared on the 12/25/07 edition of .NET Rocks!, speaking about Parallel Extensions and the Task Parallel Library: "Carl and Richard talk to Microsoft's Joe Duffy about the Task Parallel Library, which promises to make multi-threaded programming easier for us all."Enjoy...
Sometimes very simple additions to an API or implementation make me happy. One such nicety in the CTP of PLINQ is the implementation of ToString on the concrete types that represent query operators. These implementations provide a textual representation of the query structure, which can be very nice for debugging purposes. ...
