Async & TPL

Task

• Creating a Task in parallel (depends on # of cores also)
  • Single core: threads are shared - Still best for responsiveness (ex: main thread is for UI)
  • Multi Core: threads run in parallel
    • Only the main thread can update UI

using System.Threading.Tasks;

Task t = new Task( () => { 
  // code
});
t.Start();

// another way to create and start task
task tnew = task.Factory.StartNew( _code_ );
