Multithreading Design Patterns

PLEASE SIGN UP AT SKILLS MATTER SITE

Back in the 50s, programmers had a very hard time to deliver even the simplest features because they had to work at a very low level of abstraction. There was nothing as a variable, field or parameter – just registry or memory cells. After decades of advances in compiler and runtime technologies, people barely think about memory management anymore. Today, the industry is facing the same issue with multithreading. It is the use of low-level synchronization mechanisms that causes the notorious complexity of multithreaded applications.

As in the 50s, we need to raise the level of abstraction to get back into productivity. In this session, we will see how design patterns, such as X or Y, can simplify multi-core development. We’ll see how programming languages are built around these patterns and how other .NET tools can help you implementing threading patterns without switching to a new language.
