Thread Pool using Core-Affine Threads(cygon.nuclex.org)

submitted by Cygon(134) 2 years, 8 months ago

Article with source code for a ThreadPool replacement which uses the XBox 360's hardware threads (which are only used when threads are assigned to them explicitly). Common problems with manually assigned processor affinity on desktop PCs are highlighted and the author shows a solution that allows the operating system to reschedule threads while still yielding comparable behavior to the explicit affinity model used by the XBox 360. read more...

Why are thread safe collections so hard? (blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 3 years, 3 months ago

"Writing a collection which is mutable, thread safe and usable is an extremely difficult process. At least that’s what you’ve likely been told all through your schooling. But then you get out on the web and see a multitude of thread safe lists, maps and queues. If it’s so hard, why are there so many examples?" read more...

volatile and MemoryBarrier()...(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 10 months ago

That part I knew… what we news to me is there is a better way to do volatile, and that is with an explicitly memory barrier before accessing the data member.. We have a an API for that: System.Threading.Thread.MemoryBarrier(). This is more efficient than using volatile because a volatile field requires all accesses to be barriers and this effects some performance optimizations. read more...
