Let Your Data Flow

Let's face it, we live in a multi-core world. Most computers now have multi-core processors. It's about time we start taking advantage of them, isn't it? In this presentation, we will explore Microsoft's Task Parallel Library and will specifically look at the TPL Dataflow library. We will look at how to build scalable actor-like components and how to use parallel processing and pipelines to perform asynchronous data processing. We will also spend some time looking at extending the TPL Dataflow library to support distributed parallel and asynchronous processing.
