I forgot to include an hyperlink: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/itanium/index.htm You can find a lot of information about the Itanium microprocessor there.

Hi Raaz, I see the problem. Manual threading combined with core affinity works great with multicore CPUs. However, the problem in your application seems to be the synchronization overheard. You can use Intel Concurrency Checker to test the level ...

Hi Asaf, I completely agree with your point of view. That's exactly the problem. .Net Parallel Extensions aren't a silver bullet. Do you remember the 32 bits revolution... Applications were going to be faster than ever... In those days, 16 bits a...

Hi Raaz, You should provide more information about your application in order to allow others to help you. Are you using C++? Which programming language are you using? Are you using OpenMP; TBB; .Net Parallel Extensions or manual threading? What i...

This video uses C#, .Net Parallel Extensions CTP, PLINQ, delegates and AForge.Net to create an amazing multicore application. Watching this video you will find out that there is a lot of power in .Net Parallel Extensions to work with a blob counte...

Hi Abhi, You can check that using Windows Task Manager or Process Explorer. Process Explorer is more complete. You can look this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bABM4fA_HA It will show you how to measure multicore activity using Process ...

Hi Asaf, I've tried .Net Parallel Extensions and Visual C# 4.0 (2010) CTP (Community Technology Preview). I've also included a lot of information and samples in my book "C# 2008 and 2005 threaded programming" about .Net Parallel Extensions (Chapt...

Hi Asaf, One of the biggest problems is that when you create threads to align them to the number of available processing cores, the virtual machine / common runtime, underlying garbage collector and the operating system, add memory pressure, beca...

This site is cool. It is very important to understand that you can agree with multicore CPUs or not. However, if using 4 cores you run an algorithm in less time than using just 1 core, the technology is useful. We can discuss whether it is the bes...

Object Oriented multicore and parallel programming in C# to simplify parallelism complexity

This article is part of my book "C# 2008 and 2005 threaded programming: Beginner's Guide".
It helps to understand how to combine object oriented C# capabilities with multicore and concurrent programming.
I think it can be helpful to every C# developer trying to tackle the multicore revolution.

My blog about C# threaded, parallel and multicore programming

I have set up a blog in order to discuss feedback and comments about my book "C# 2008 and 2005 threaded programming", http://www.csharpmulticore.blogspot.com/
It would be great to see new blog posts in this multicore and parallel computing community.
I do believe multicore and parallel computing is the future. Hence, software engineers and developers must prepare to tackle the multicore revolution.
