ParallelFX: Concurrency Library Extensions to the .NET Framework
This talk is an overview of ParallelFX (PFX), a new set of library extensions being added to the .NET Framework to better support concurrency on multicore architectures.  PFX includes Parallel LINQ, a data parallel implementation of LINQ-to-Objects, a task parallel library (TPL) that includes an efficient task scheduler, futures, and other task parallel APIs, in addition to a collection of other coordination data structures.  We'll review the APIs and how to use them.

(Note: PFX is in currently in a pre-release state, so this talk is a preview of a future technology not available in 3.5.)
