PLinq

[Max2006]

Hi,

According to the this article:

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2009167,00.asp

There is an extension to Linq called PLinq. Is PLinq going to be part of C#
3.0?

Thank you,

Max

The simple answer is "no"; PLINQ is still at a relatively early stage,
where-as LINQ generally (as expressed by .NET 3.5 and C# 3) is about
to go RTM. How PLINQ is deployed remains to be seen, but I imagine it
will be a farily smooth bolt-on.

Parallel LINQ is part of Parallel FX, the next generation threading
library that MS is working on. It *won't* be part of .NET 3.5, but a
CTP will be available "real soon now".

Joe Duffy is the main source of information on PFX (as well as being
incredibly readable and knowledgeable):

No, though you can add some of it yourself: search on google on
'map/reduce' and implement their pattern again in C#, so you can split
work across multiple threads (there are a couple of map/reduce .NET
implementations as well). It's basicly map/reduce, as it tries to split
queries into multiple working sets which can be executed in parallel.
E.g. finding all objects with a given filter in a set is easy to
paralellize. This is what map/reduce does.
