Deep Dive into Futures and the Parallel Programming Library
by Jim McKeeth
To follow-up with my Parallel For Loops skill sprint last week (lots of good resources there), today I did a deep dive into the Parallel Programming Library (PPL) including Futures, Tasks and custom thread pools.
Here are the slides:

And you can download my Tasks and Futures sample to see how to create, start, check and cancel both Tasks and Futures. Check out the C++ Parallel Examples to see how to use Futures and the PPL in C++.
Until the replay of my Skill Sprint is posted, you can watch this video from Allen Bauer covering the Parallel Programming Library Architecture from CodeRage 9.
