Expert guidance for those programming today s dual-core processors PCs As PC processors explode from one or two to now eight processors, there is an urgent need for programmers to master concurrent programming. This book dives deep into the latest technologies available to programmers for creating professional parallel applications using C#, .NET 4, and Visual Studio 2010. The book covers task-based programming, coordination data structures, PLINQ, thread pools, asynchronous programming model, and more. It also teaches other parallel programming techniques, such as SIMD and vectorization. * Teaches programmers professional-level, task-based, parallel programming with C#, .NET 4, and Visual Studio 2010 * Covers concurrent collections, coordinated data structures, PLINQ, thread pools, asynchronous programming model, Visual Studio 2010 debugging, and parallel testing and tuning * Explores vectorization, SIMD instructions, and additional parallel libraries Master the tools and technology you need to develop thread-safe concurrent applications for multi-core systems, with Professional Parallel Programming with C#.
Gaston C. Hillar is an independent software consultant who has been researching parallel programming, multiprocessor, and multicore since 1997. He has years of experience designing and developing diverse types of complex parallelized solutions that take advantage of multiple processing cores with C# and .NET Framework.
