Rahul Patil: Complexities of Testing Concurrency

This is in addition to the videos mentioned a few days ago here. Much thanks to Charles for all of the time he's been spending with us here in bldg 112.

Jason Olson has also started up a series of screencasts on concurrency, the first of which is now available:

Back To Basics - Race Conditions, Part 1

Good stuff, Jason.

Webcasts on Parallelism from France

toub — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:15:53 GMT

A few months back, Keith Yedlin and Steve Teixeira from the Parallel Computing Platform team were in France visiting with customers. While there, they presented on our parallelism efforts, and with the help of the great team from Microsoft France, this presentation is now available online as a series of webcasts (the titles are all in French, but the contents of the recordings are in English):

And for those of you interested in reading about Parallel Extensions in French, Eric Vernié from Microsoft France has an article on the subject:

Introduction aux Extensions parallèles à .NET (PFX) par Eric Vernié

Enjoy! Thanks to Eric Mittelette, Eric Vernié, and the rest of the team in France for making these videos possible.

Parallel Extensions Demo Fun on Channel 9

toub — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:44:00 GMT

When I was at TechEd 2008 Developer last week, I met up with the great Dan Fernandez from Channel 9 to show off Parallel Extensions and to demonstrate some of the sample applications included with our June 2008 CTP. The cameras were at the ready, so you can see the demonstrations, too:

Thanks, Dan!

More Channel 9 Parallel Extensions Goodness

toub — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:09:46 GMT

Charles from Channel 9 came over to building 112 last week for an in-depth look at what's new in the June 2008 CTP of Parallel Extensions. We spoke on the subject for an hour and a half or so, which you can see in a two-part series that was posted to Channel 9 yesterday (by the way, Channel 9 team, the new site looks great!):

What better way to spend some of this weekend than to enjoy discussions of Parallel Extensions. :) As always, we're very interested in your feedback, on the CTP itself but also on what we discussed in the videos and on what we should discuss in future videos.

New PLINQ video on Channel 9

toub — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:41:03 GMT

Igor and Joe from our Parallel Extensions team sat down with Charles from Channel 9 to discuss the inner workings of PLINQ. The video of the conversation is now available at http://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=390736.

"Continuing our exploration of the Parallel Computing Platform and the folks who think it up and build it, we sit down with software developers Joe Duffy (he wrote the original Parallel LINQ Think Week paper that Bill Gates read and obviously enjoyed!) and Igor Ostrovsky (he spends his time implementing PLINQ and associated technologies) to deeply dig into how PLINQ works.

Lots of whiteboarding and great conversation in this one, as is usual with the people helping to shape our general purpose parallel computing development platform.

Enjoy."

Task Parallel Library on Channel 9

toub — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 01:38:00 GMT

Charles from Channel 9 sat down with several of us from the Parallel Computing Platform team to discuss the Task Parallel Library component of Parallel Extensions. A video of the conversation is now available on Channel9: http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=384229. We hope you like it, and as always, feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Burton Smith on Channel 9

toub — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:45:00 GMT

Burton Smith is a Technical Fellow at Microsoft and an industry leader in the fields of parallel and high-performance computing. As part of a new video series we've kicked off, the folks at Channel 9 have posted a terrific hour-long interview with Burton about the past, present, and future of parallel computing. Definitely check it out.

Parallel Extensions on .NET Rocks

toub — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 22:26:00 GMT

Joe Duffy, our dev lead, appeared on the 12/25/07 edition of .NET Rocks!, speaking about Parallel Extensions and the Task Parallel Library:

"Carl and Richard talk to Microsoft's Joe Duffy about the Task Parallel Library, which promises to make multi-threaded programming easier for us all."

Enjoy!
