The Parallel Computing Platform team’s Steve Teixeira (PUM), Daniel Moth (PM and Channel 9 Screencaster Extraordinaire!) and Sean Nordberg (GPM) sit down with me to discuss Microsoft’s overall approach to Parallel Computing inside Visual Studio (improved concurrency debugging and new runtime analysis tools inside VS). Of course, we also address the high level issues of making parallel computing easier to compose on the Microsoft stack and peak into the future. At PDC Steve et al will go much deeper into the VS tooling support for parallel computing in several sessions. Parallel Computing is a major theme at this year’s PDC so I strongly encourage you to head down to LA and pay close attention to our plans for making writing concurrent code reasonable and readily understandable by a much larger class of developers.
See you at PDC.

Description: ParCo2007 marks a quarter of a century of the international conferences on parallel computing that started in Berlin in 1983. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the state-of-the-art of the developments, applications and future trends in high performance computing for all platforms. The conference addresses all aspects (more…)

As you know, a recent important hardware improvement are multicore CPU’s. As opposed to just faster CPU’s, applications will not be able to take advantage of that additional hardware power in a transparent way. So we no longer have the free lunch of a doubling in performance every year and a half that we used to have for free, basically. What that means to us as software professionals is that the burden has shifted to us. We have to do more work now in order to exploit the latest perfor... more
