Parallel Computing in .NET
A recent article in MSDN magazine talks about the upcoming CTP release of the Parallel FX library, currently scheduled for the Fall of 2007.
You can find the article here: Optimize Managed Code for Mulit-Core Machines.
The recent trend with CPUs has been a multi-core approach rather than focusing on speed increases. This is great, but we need to be able to develop software that takes advantage of the extra cores. I am looking forward to the release of the Parallel FX library and I will surely be posting more about it once it becomes available.
The article is quite an interesting read...
