In a race to keep up with Moore's Law, we have seen processor manufacturers shift from creating single-core to multi-core processors. Bringing in an age of parallel computing.

Software frameworks and programming languages evolved with this trend. Giving developers the means to efficiently make use of multi-core processors. Nowadays, most, if not all, modern applications are designed and built with parallelization in mind. Even stretching the applications over multiple machines.

In this session we will be taking an in-depth look at parallel programming in .NET. The main topic will be the Task Parallel Library (TPL), seeing how to best deal with running loads of tasks in parallel. Taking into account various situations such as distributed applications with a lot of network IO going around and situations where we're running a lot of complex calculations on a single machine.

Secondly we will be taking a deep dive into how to optimize your code so it can efficiently make use of multiple cores.
