Presentation on Parallel Extensions @ Quebec user group

My presentation on Parallel Extensions is announced on their web site.

La présentation sera en français.

If we want more power we need to cross the processor barrier and do work in parallel. In June 2008, Microsoft released its second CTP of Parallel Extensions library. Come with me to see how easy it will be to make that leap of faith into the world of parallel processing. We will see how Task, concurrent collections, lazy initialization, parallel Linq and other tools can help us in this endeavour.

You can find more information about that library on my other posts:
