Microsoft recently released a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework, a managed programming model for data parallelism, task parallelism, and coordination on parallel hardware unified by a common work scheduler. Parallel Extensions provides library based support for introducing concurrency into applications written with any .NET language, including but not limited to C# and Visual Basic. In this talk, Jeff will provide an oveview of this exciting new breakthrough in muti-core processing using the .NET framework and will walk through code samples illustrating the technology.
