If you’re a keen .NET programmer, you are probably aware of what the above title says. Since the birth of multi-core computing, there has been a requirement for parallel-programming architecture. Now, the multi-core computing has developed into the prevailing paradigm in computer architecture since the invention of multi core-processors.

Incidentally, almost every programmer considers Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 as getting distant and out of the way. To prevent its programming market fiasco, recently, Microsoft released the beta versions of .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010. The major focus fell on .NET 4, yet the labels boasted the arrival of parallel-programming. The question is whether there are any benefits particularly towards performance, on sticking to existing APIs? Go through to get the answer of the question.

.NET 4’s Multi-Core processing ability:

Primarily, the MSDN site shows that the parallel extensions in the .NET 4, has been improvised itself to support analogous programming, targeting multi-core computing or distributed computing. The support for the Framework can be divided into four areas like library, LINQ, data structures and diagnostic tools. .NET 4’s peers and predecessors are devoid of the multi-core operable ability.

The main criteria like communication and synchronization of sub-tasks were considered as the biggest obstacles in getting a good parallel program performance; But .NET 4’s promising parallel library technology enables developers to define simultaneous, asynchronous tasks without having to work with threads, locks, or the thread pool.

Full support for multiple programming languages and compilers:

Apart from VB & C# languages, .NET 4 offers a full support for programming languages like Ironpython, Ironruby, F# and other similar .NET compilers. Other than the 3.5 version of the same model, it encompasses both functional-programming and crucial object-oriented programming.

Dynamic language runtime:

Addition of the dynamic language runtime (DLR) is a blessing for the .NET beginners. Using this new DLR runtime environment, developers can insert a set of services for dynamic languages to the CLR. Apart from that, the DLR makes it simpler to develop dynamic languages and to add dynamic features to statically typed languages. An original System Dynamic name space has been supplemented to the .NET Framework on supporting the DLR and numerous new classes supporting the .NET Framework infrastructure are extra to the System Runtime Compiler Services. Nevertheless, the new DLR provides the following advantages to developers: Developers can use speedy feedback loop which lets them enter diverse statements and execute them to see the results nearly immediately.

It has the ability to support for the top-down and more traditional bottom-up development. You can take the example of a developer using top down approach. He has the ability for call-out functions that are not yet can implement and then add them when required. There are simple refactoring and code modifications in which the Dot Net Programmers do not require to change static type declarations throughout the code.
