CHAPTER 10
TPL Dataflow
Classic concurrent programming simply took synchronous programming and said, “Let us have lots of synchronous execution running at the same time, through the use of threads.” To this end we have used the Task abstraction to describe concurrency; all is good until we introduce mutable shared state. Once mutable shared state is involved, we have to consider synchronization strategies. Adding the correct and most efficient form of synchronization adds complexity to our code. The one glimmer of hope is that we can retain some degree of elegance through the use of concurrent data structures and more complex synchronization ...
