9 Asynchronous functional programming in F#
This chapter covers
- Making asynchronous computations cooperate
- Implementing asynchronous operations in a functional style
- Extending asynchronous workflow computational expressions
- Taming parallelism with asynchronous operations
- Coordinating cancellation of parallel asynchronous computations
In chapter 8, I introduced asynchronous programming as Tasks executing independently from the main application thread, possibly in a separated environment or across the network on different CPUs. This method leads to parallelism, where applications can perform an inordinately high number of I/O operations on a single-core machine. This is a powerful idea in terms of program execution and data throughput speed, ...
