Much of the .NET Task Parallel Library (TPL) Data Parallel functionality is encapsulated in Parallel Loops. Unlike a regular loop, Parallel loops must partition a collection, requiring a developer to address concurrency issues like cancellation and thread safe operations. This article introduces the TPL Data Parallel core classes and concepts.
Data Parallelism and Task Parallelism are common Parallel Computing forms. Task Parallel Library (TPL) bears the "Task Parallel" name, but where does Data Parallel fit into TPL? How is Data Parallel done in the Task Parallel Library? What does Data Parallel look like in the Task Parallel Library? Read on for the answer to these questions.
Even though WF was not built on TPL, there are TPL features that can make running WF workflows easier. In self-hosted scenarios, for example, a desktop application may be running a workflow. Code examples in this article demonstrate how TPL and WF can work together.
