A&O Jérémie Laval 2009-08-03: Improving, testing and integrating ParallelFx into Mono

[Jérémie Laval]

Hey folks,

Sorry for not sending last week A&O, it popped out of my mind.

Achievements
===========

- Integration of System.Threading.Tasks, System.Threading.Tasks and System.Collections.Concurrent namespaces in Mono trunk.
- Full compliance of the above namespace to .NET 4 beta 1 API minus some class misplacement.
- A bunch of new class implementation to comply with the preceding point (ThreadLocal, TaskCompletionSource, TaskFactory<T>, ...).
- Rewrite of PLinq started with a new scheme based on Partitioner.
- Basic PLinq operators (Select, Where, Aggreagate) and producers (AsParallel, Range, Repeat) implemented.

Objectives
========

- Continue integration work, put everything in the right place.
- More PLinq operators coding.
- Add index-based operator support in the PLinq pipeline.

Love
====

Love to Alan, of course, and the whole Novell Dublin team for the warm welcoming in the offices. It has been a truly awesome month.

Sláinte !
