I mentioned yesterday that I’ll be involved in two sessions at PDC09, including a parallel patterns tutorial. I know many of you are interested in concurrency in general and on Microsoft platforms in particular, so I thought I’d share this more complete list of concurrency-related sessions at PDC, put together by my colleague Stephen Toub.

Overview:

• The State of Parallel Programming
• Patterns of Parallel Programming: A Tutorial on Fundamental Patterns and Practices for Parallelism

Native code in Visual Studio 2010:

• A Computing Platform That Scales
• Lighting up Windows Server 2008 R2 Using the ConcRT on UMS
• C++ Forever: Interactive Applications in the Age of Manycore

Managed code in Visual Studio 2010:

• Manycore and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4: A Match Made in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
• PLINQ: LINQ, but Faster!
• F# for Parallel and Asynchronous Programming

HPC Server:

• Accelerating Applications Using Windows HPC Server 2008

Research and Incubation:

• Axum: A .NET Language for Safe and Scalable Concurrency
• Concurrency Fuzzing & Data Races
• Data-Intensive Computing on Windows HPC Server with the DryadLINQ Framework
• Rx: Reactive Extensions for .NET
• Future of Garbage Collection
