"Multi-threading made easier through Open-Source Threading Building Blocks”

Multi-threading has become a stable of modern programmers vocabulary, however it still presents challenges to the most seasoned programmers. Ensuring your multi-threaded design continues to scale from Dual-Core to Quad-Core and even more is a big challenge. Threading Building blocks provide a task abstraction that generally leads to better scheduling and load balancing. Additionally, the Threading Building Blocks help to reduce synchronization by design and by more efficient
synchronization primitives. We’ll review the Threading Building blocks and show a real world case where Threading Building Blocks were applied to a demo game application.
