Debugging parallel code
With the prevalence of multicore CPUs we are seeing more and more applications taking advantage of parallel processing to improve performance. A number of features such as Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) were added by .NET Framework 4.0 to make developing applications that take advantage of multicore CPUs much simpler to write.
