C# 2008 and 2010, multicore, .Net Parallel Extensions and PLINQ


The book includes a lot of content dedicated to .Net Parallel Extensions (currently in CTP) and PLINQ (Parallelized LINQ). They will be available in C# 2010 (C# 4.0) and .Net 4.0.
This video shows the application developed in Chapter 11: Coding with .NET Parallel Extensions.
The chapter's table of contents:

Parallelizing loops using .NET extensions
Time for action – Downloading and installing the .NET Parallel Extensions
No silver bullet

Time for action – Creating an independent class to run in parallel without
side effects
Counting and showing blobs while avoiding side effects
Time for action – Running concurrent nebula finders using a
parallelized loop
Using a parallelized ForEach loop
Coding with delegates in parallelized loops
