Parallel Processing

16 September 2007 in Microsoft & Programming

The October 2007 issue of MSDN Magazine was recently released and can be downloaded at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/10/default.aspx.

This edition seems to be focused on Parallel processing, a subject well spread around the web this days. Pooled Threads, WPF Threads, Parallel LINQ, Parallel Performance, etc.

The one article I find special interesting is the Parallel Processing: Optimize Managed Code For Multi-Core Machines. Introduces the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and shows some simple ways to real improve .NET code for multi-core systems, without to much change in the code.

There’s also another article focused on WPF, explaining how to easily use the UI thread and the Dispatcher to build a more responsive application.

Its a good read, if you’re interested.
