http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/12/09/9934811.aspxOn Code Gallery, we have a plethora of samples that highlight aspects of the .NET Framework 4 that help with writing scalable and efficient parallel applications.&#160; This post examines each of those samples, providing an overview of what each providesen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/12/09/9934811.aspx#10072729Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:25:54 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10072729SteffenWebb<p>Hi Toub.</p> <p>Somehow i lost the last comment. But i try again.</p> <p>I tried several examples with same result. But lets take the ComputePI example.</p> <p>Here SerialPI is faster than the parallelPI, but the ParallelPartitionerPi gives the fastest result.</p> <p>I run windows 7 64bit, with a dualcore processor. I also tried it on vmware, same result.</p> <p>Worst thing is that i tried to convince a friend of mine that parallel is the new thing, and he laughed about the results.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10072729" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/12/09/9934811.aspx#10070478Fri, 01 Oct 2010 20:48:40 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10070478Stephen Toub - MSFT<p>Hi Steffen-</p> <p>Which example(s) in particular are you seeing the serial version run faster, and what&#39;s your machine configuration?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10070478" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/12/09/9934811.aspx#10070258Fri, 01 Oct 2010 12:06:12 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10070258Steffen Webb<p>Hi Toub.</p> <p>In some examples I find the serial routines to be faster than parallel.</p> <p>Why is that?</p> <p>-Steffen</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10070258" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/12/09/9934811.aspx#10003173Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:19:38 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10003173azureKirby<p>Thanks (:</p> <p>Thats what i was doing earlier - i made a mistake - and forgot to check the Window1.xaml.cs file.
