Make the Most of Your Cores - Parallel Extensions for .NET

Subheadline: 
Free London Event

Looking forward to having an 8 core processor in your desktop box? Maybe your server already does? Unfortunately unless your application is designed to use them 7 of those cores are going to be sitting idle. How do you write multi-threaded programs for .NET without the headaches of race conditions and manually tracking threads?

Parallel Extensions for .NET to the rescue! .NET 4.0 will feature a new library to simplify parallel programming and allow your applications to take advantage of multiple cores. This talk will explain what's on offer.

I'm a little concerned about what's being described here -- the statement "thout the headaches of race conditions" implies that the Parallel Extensions somehow eliminate the need to write properly threaded code. Which they don't -- they make it easier to thread and have some nice concurrent data structures, but you can still easily get into threading trouble.
