Parallel Programing Talk - Microsoft Concurrency Runtime

By Aaron Tersteeg (Intel) (118 posts) on October 7, 2008 at 12:25 pm

Today Clay Breshears and Aaron Tersteeg discussed the Microsoft Concurrency Runtime with Microsoft Software Architect Niklas Gustafsso. We also announced the winner of the Intel Threading Challenge.

Congratulations to Peter Trifonov (Bugman) for winning the Intel Threading Challenge. After 12 longs months of 12 separate problem the results have been tallied; with 3842 points Peter is our winner.

Thank you to Niklas Gustafsso for talking to Clay and I about Microsoft Concurrency Runtime. The Concurrency Runtime provides an efficient and scalable infrastructure for multiple concurrent programming models by bringing together cooperative work scheduling and resource management into one component. 

You can learn more about Microsoft's work in parallel and concurrent programming at the MSDN Development Center. Niklas will also be speaking at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (October 27-30 in Los Angeles). You can learn more about his session: “Concurrency Runtime Deep Dive: How to Harvest Multicore Computing Resources”. Click on the "Parallelism" tag in the sessions list.

Our next show will be on October 21st at 8:00AM PST. Joining me will be Michael Wrinn, guest co-host while Clay takes a few weeks off for his 7 year sabbatical. Have fun Clay.
