In a recent brownbag lunch presentation given by Eugene Kosnyrev, we discussed the goal of a new Microsoft initiative – Parallel Programming. Since right now technology has advanced to where nearly all new machines have multi-core CPU's, the software we build for the future should take advantage of these hardware improvements.

In this brownbag, we examined different approaches for how to implement “parallel aware” software – the classic multithreaded application, and application that uses new TPL (Task Parallel Library), which operates with Tasks object. Also, we reviewed how to use PLINQ (Parallel LINQ) with minimal efforts from developer to make software “parallel aware”.
