Parallel Programming in .NET 4

Aaron Armstrong


Come hear about the new world of parallel programming in .NET 4. Microsoft Research has partnered with the Common Language Runtime and Parallel Computing Platform teams to develop two new libraries: the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ). These libraries provide the tools to express concurrent programs more clearly and simply while abstracting above the plumbing of threads and synchronization. If your application needs the power of modern multi-core machines, understanding these libraries is key.

This talk targets developers who understand at least the basics of concurrent programming (threads, synchronization primitives, race conditions, and deadlocks).

Aaron Armstrong is a Senior Manager at SunGard Consulting Services. Since 2006 he has worked with large banks and hedge funds in the greater New York area, training developers, designing applications, and running projects. He has used .NET since version 1.0 in education, aerospace, and biotechnology, in addition to financial services. He lives with his wife and two young sons in Norwalk, Connecticut and enjoys playing electric bass, reviewing restaurants on Yelp, reading (just finishing "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis), and downhill skiing.
