Parallel Programming .NET 4 & VS 2010

Special joint meeting of NYC .NET Developers Group & NY ALT.NET User Group! Parallel Programming with .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 Abstract: In the past, introducing concurrency and parallelism into libraries and applications was difficult, time consuming, and error-prone. However, as the hardware industry shifts towards multi-core and many-core processors, the key to high-performance applications is parallelism. The .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010 offer solutions to help make coding, debugging, and profiling concurrent applications significantly easier. In this interactive deep-dive, we’ll examine Parallel LINQ-to-Objects (PLINQ), the Task Parallel Library (TPL), new coordination and synchronization types, and Visual Studio tooling support in order to provide a look at the next generation of parallel programming with .NET. Bio: Stephen Toub is a Principal Program Manager on the Parallel Computing Platform team at Microsoft. He’s excited to be back in Manhattan, where he lived and worked for several years.
