Abstract
The Task Parallel Library (TPL) is a library for.NET that makes it easy to expose potential parallelism in a program. The library can be seen as an embedded domain specific language, and relies heavily on generics and delegate expressions to provide a convenient interface with custom control structures for parallelism. In this article, we describe the design and implementation of the library. In particular, we show the use of ‘replicable tasks ’ as an abstraction for implementing parallel iteration and aggregation, and the use of ‘duplicating queues ’ as an alternative to the regular task queues based on the THE protocol. 1.
