Chapter 8. Concurrent and Parallel Programming under .NET
So far, we have been mostly focusing on the GoF design patterns. When the catalog appeared, the computing world was mostly sequential, and the bias was reflected in the catalog. The world has changed a lot since the publication of the catalog in 1994. There was a shift towards language-level concurrency and parallelism due to the arrival of the Java and C# programming languages. The processor designers understood the limits of constructing powerful single-core CPUs, and began focusing on many core CPUs. This brought its own set of complexity in developing software using the existing paradigms. Even a language like C++, which relegated concurrency to libraries, added language-level concurrency ...
