Chapter 4. Task Parallel Library in Depth
In the previous chapter, we have already used TPL to simplify the writing of some fine-grained parallel code. The code looked quite clear; however, TPL is a quite complicated framework with a high level of abstraction, and it deserves a detailed review.
Most code samples that we have seen so far were quite simple in terms of composition. We took a computational problem, split it into several independent parts, and ran these parts on different worker threads. When all the parts are completed, we get their results and combine them into a final calculation result. However, most real-world programs usually have a complex structure. We need to get input data, and then there are program stages that depend on ...
