Begin with Parallel programming in Dotnet 4.0(beyondrelational.com)

submitted by DPalkar(228) 1 year, 4 months ago

Now a days computers are coming with multiple processors that enable multiple threads to be executed simultaneously to give performance of applications and we can expect significantly more CPUs in near future. If application is doing CPU intensive tasks and we find that one CPU is taking 100 %usage and others are idle. It might be situation when one thread is doing cpu intensive work and other threads are doing non cpu intensive work. In this case application is not utilizing all CPUs potential here. To get benefits all CPUs Microsoft launches Parallel Programming Library in DotNet Framework 4.0. read more...

Building in Parallel Across Multiple Build Agents with TFS 2010(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by sdorman(1415) 1 year, 8 months ago

A customized build process template that parallelizes a build by platform/configuration. That is, if you use it to build multiple platforms (e.g. “x86” and “x64”) and/or configurations (e.g. “Debug” and “Release”), it will distribute the build of each platform/configuration to a separate Build Agent. read more...

Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) with Visual Studio 2010(leniel.net)

submitted by leniel(504) 2 years, 6 months ago

On the last day of May I wrote about how to calculate prime numbers with LINQ in C#. To close that post I said that I’d use the primeNumbers delegate to evaluate PLINQ (Parallel LINQ) and measure the performance gains when the same calculation is done in parallel instead of in a sequential fashion. As promised, today I show the performance gains when the same delegate is run in 2 cores (parallel) instead of only 1 core (sequential). In this post you'll also see the new parallel debugging windows that come with Visual Studio 2010: Parallel Stacks and Parallel Tasks. read more...

Parallel Programming in .Net 4.0: BlockingCollection<T>(lovethedot.net)

submitted by Ragoczy(655) 3 years, 3 months ago

This article takes a look at BlockingCollection<T>, one of the new, threadsafe collections coming in .Net 4.0. BlockingCollection<T> allows different threads to add-to/iterate-over the collection simultaneously while giving subscribers the option of blocking until more items are available and publishers to block if too many items are already in the collection. read more...

Sample + Notes on using the Parallel Extensions Library(blog.bluecog.co.nz)

submitted by traskjd(3229) 4 years, 5 months ago

Recently Microsoft released the Parallel Extensions Library to aid developers in building solutions that leverage multi-core machines that are becoming the norm. This post provides a sample solution that highlights the benefits of running parallel code but also highlights some warnings about why this library is not a silver bullet. read more...
