News for Weeks 43 and 44 / 2006
If you're new here and like what you read, you may want to subscribe to my RSS blog feed or free email updates. Thanks for visiting!
There were some interesting articles during the last two weeks, which I would like to share with you (also, I have to compensate for not posting for two whole weeks - my target rate is one post per week and I do want to make up for missing that target for the first time 
):
- Joe Duffy has a very long article (and I mean really long - and I thought I was writing long posts sometimes
) on Concurrency and the impact on reusable libraries. It is a bit .NET-centric, but especially the best practices are very worth reading for anyone interested in concurrent programming. Which is also true for his whole blog. - Intel has an article highlighting the importance of parallel programming. If you are a regular reader of my blog, there is probably not much new in there (except for the marketing-speak
). - A nice little analogy of what is dangerous about shared state.
- A short article explaining the basics of transactional memory.
In other news, I have reorganized the front page of this blog slightly. Only excerpts from merely five articles are shown now - but this also means it won’t take forever to load for people with slower connections.
Thats it for this post, stay tuned for one of my next posts where I will finally tell you a little more about myself and my reasons for writing this blog (come on, admit it, this is what you have been waiting for the whole time 
).
