Parallel Computing Downloads
Microsoft plans to deliver a solution-stack consisting of OS resource management, a concurrency runtime, programming models, language extensions, libraries, and tools, which will make it simpler for both native and managed code developers to safely and productively build robust, scalable and responsive applications. This will also enable industry partners to complement Microsoft’s technologies in order to solve the complex problems associated with developing high-quality parallel software. Microsoft’s goal is to increase productivity, so developers can focus on solving business problems.
Featured DownloadEvaluate Parallel APIs in the Community Technology Preview of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
The CTP includes .NET Framework libraries such as the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), as well as the Parallel Pattern Library (PPL) and Concurrency Runtime for developing native applications with C++, and parallel profiling and debugging tools. This CTP is available for download as a Virtual PC image. Virtual PC supports only one core; a user will likely not see significant parallel performance benefits on manycore machines. However, third party tools are available for converting a Virtual PC image to a Hyper-V image. Support for the CTP of Visual Studio 2010 is provided on MSDN Forums, where the community of developers helps answer questions. Microsoft does not support third party tools for converting a Virtual PC image to a Hyper-V image. |

Parallel Extensions simplifies development by providing library-based support for introducing concurrency into applications written with any .NET language, including C# and Visual Basic. It includes the Task Parallel Library (TPL), which provides imperative data and task parallelism; Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), which provides declarative data parallelism; and all new Coordination Data Structures (CDS), which provide support for work coordination and managing shared state. This upgrade also provides a new scheduler that is more robust, efficient, and scalable. | Get the .NET Framework 3.5
