In about an hour I am going to deliver a session about TDF, the new Thread Parallel Library Dataflow Network technology of .NET 4.5. In this post I'd like to provide the steps you need to start play with TDF and also the links to the lecture slides and demos . To start use TDF: 1. Download Visual Studio 2012 RC , or use VS 2010 with the TDF CTP 2. Create a C# project and add a NuGet package of TDF 3. Add reference to System.Threading.Tasks 4. Write your code or download my demos . ...

At the beginning of 2005 Herb Sutter had an article stating that the developer’s free lunch is over. We had an assumption that more transistors in the CPU imply better application execution speed. The CPU executes the code in a sequential manner hence the performance of the CPU-bound code is directly related to CPU frequency. This used to be our “Free Lunch”: an old program runs faster on a new CPU. Using this assumption with modern low power consumption multi-core CPUs is wrong, we might even find...
