| Parallel Programming: Tasks and Continuations Posted: 31 Mar 2011 12:00 PM PDT
I've recently been posting interviews on C9 with some of the VC++ team and few VC++ MVPs like Kate Gregory. Today you'll meet some fellow native developers who are working hard to provide powerful C++ libraries for concurrency and parallelism. They need your feeddback, so please download the header files today and play with the code!
I recently visited the Parallel Computing Concurrency Runtime team, who write tools for the C++ community that make it easier to write reliable, performant and scalable concurrent and parallel code. In the first part of this interview (available here), Mike Chu , Dana Groff, Artur Laksberg and Vinod Koduvayoor Subramanian talk about their latest addition to the Parallel Patterns Library which provides wait-free concurrency programming by specifying tasks, the ability to schedule tasks on events and continuations that specify a task or tasks which are run after one or more tasks finish.
In the second part (available here), Vinod explains chaining tasks, continuations at the whiteboard. It's fast-paced so pay attention!
What's better is that much of this is available today through the ConcRT Extra's "Sample Pack". Please download it, play with the new library, push it and provide feedback to the team. They really want and need your input to insure they deliver the right things for real world usage by C++ developers.

| Released: Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1 Posted: 31 Mar 2011 12:00 AM PDT An update to the Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (Windows SDK 7.1) is now available. This update addresses the issue where Visual C++ Compilers and libraries that are installed with the Windows SDK are removed when Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 is installed. Please follow this link to download and install the update. Our recommended install order is:
You may eventually swap steps 3 and 4, still getting a successful scenario. You must have installed Windows SDK 7.1 in order to install the update. However, you do NOT have to have installed VS 2010 + SP1 – this update is also applicable to the standalone SDK.
