There's a lot of confusion about async/await, Task/TPL and asynchronous and parallel programming in general, so Jeremy Clark is on a mission to inform developers on how to use everything properly.

PARALLEL DEBUGGING Debugging needs to be addressed regardless of the parallel programming approach. Existing debuggers are simply the starting point, because most don’t address many of the features ...

Big data analysis additionally is driving the demand for even faster, more effective, and also energy-saving computer clusters. The number of processors per system has now reached the millions and ...

Asynchronous programming enables you to perform resource-intensive I/O operations without having to block on the main or the executing thread of the application. Though beneficial and seemingly easy ...

Asynchronous programming allows you to write programs that don’t block on each statement or instruction, meaning the computer can move on to other tasks before waiting for previous tasks to finish. As ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

The sands of the IT world are shifting, as the cloud and mobile move from being secondary to the old n-tier+web model that's dominated for much of the last decade. That sea change is shifting the ...
