Attaching Continuation Tasks to the UI Thread (.NET Parallelism)

published 505 days, 5 hours, 15 minutes ago posted by

BlackWasp 505 days, 23 hours, 43 minutes ago

Parallel tasks can be used in Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation applications to run slow processes without blocking the user interface thread. However, this presents a problem, as both systems prevent other threads from updating controls. (more)

BlackWasp 596 days, 23 hours, 57 minutes ago

The ninth part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial considers that the parallel nature of tasks means that it is not possible to assume that tasks have completed. It describes how to synchronise tasks and capture their unhandled exceptions. (more)

BlackWasp 636 days, 1 hour, 38 minutes ago

The fourth part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial looks at the early termination of parallel loops. Unlike sequential loops, which can be exited with the break command, there are considerations when stopping loops that run on multiple cores. (more)

Dean Hume - C# Parallel Invoke

deanomachino 699 days, 8 hours, 51 minutes ago

C# Parallel Invoke While working through some code, I noticed a method that I have never seen before. I knew that the .Net 4 Framework had introduced a Parallel Class that helped make parallel ForEach Loops easier, but after some searching I came across the ParallelInvoke() method. So, I jumped on the MSDN site and learnt a little bit more about Task Parallels. It makes running one or more independent tasks concurrently really easy with it's fluent interface. After some reading, I noticed that t... (more)

LINQ is Better Than ForEach

KodefuGuru 1114 days, 20 hours, 49 minutes ago

I had a discussion today with a software architect who disagreed with me that LINQ to Objects should be used instead of foreach loops. My claim is that LINQ is better. He says that I shouldn’t make such a blanket statement, because LINQ is inefficient. I stand by my assertion. (more)

A brief overiew of the new Parallel Extensions in .NET Framework 4 « Mehroz’s Experiments

posted by

mehroz 1155 days, 8 hours, 45 minutes ago

We have been creating multi-threaded applications with the previous versions of .NET framework, but most of the times, the objective of such multi-threading was to keep the user interface active in case of any IO or network operation going on. However, to cope with the current era of multi-core processors, we need to additionally parallelize our business logic operations to best utilize the computational powers. This post will walk through some of the inconveniences with the traditional multi-threading t... (more)
