The article provides information on the technologies that can be applied in writing a managed code for multi-processor machines. It mentions the introduction of the Task Parallel Library (TPL) which can conveniently express potential parallelism in existing sequential code. It has been noted that TPL is a major component of the Parallel FX Library, the next generation of concurrency support for the Microsoft.NET Framework. Furthermore, it stresses the advantages of using TPL, since it does not require any language extensions and works with the .NET Framework 3.5 and higher.
