It has been one of the most happening times for developers in Microsoft world. Over the next few posts I will update the latest releases and resources for the developers.
The latest edition to the .NET is Framework extensions for Parallel Programming. With processors growing in terms of CPUs but not in terms of transistors per CPU, the free meal for the developers is over. The programs running faster with newer CPUs doesn't happen anymore. Microsoft is trying to address this issue and make it easier for developers to take advantage of multiple CPUs using parallel extensions for .NET framework. There has been a demo on channel9, where in Anders Hejlsberg and Joe Duffy explain about PLinq or Parallel extensions to .NET Framework. In PLinq parallel extensions will identify the no.of CPUs on the processors and effectively split the query across the CPUs. Last week Microsoft has released the preview of the Parallel Extensions for .NET for developers to download and play with them.
