Still coming up to speed on .net micro…i’m looking at the info here http://microsoft-net-framework4.software.informer.com/wiki/
I see that TPL is not yet part of the framework but there are plans for it. Does anyone know when this is going to happen? Or is there any page that shows a roadmap for .NETMF?
Thanks
That page is big .net, not netmf. Netmf’s “home” is http://www.netmf.com/ for the general info, or http://netmf.codeplex.com/ for the project / code hosting. You can contribute more there.
On the wiki page you pointed to, there was no mention of TPL, so I went searching. TPL = Task Parallel Library. Doesn’t sound that useful on a single core processor that preemptively multitasks and has 1 fraction of the power of a PC class CPU. You say there are plans - where do you see that/know that from? I would be surprised if this is a target feature as I haven’t seen many people discuss scenarios where threading as it is today isn’t up to the task. Remember, the motto when you’re working on .net micro framework is “think small”.
geez…you are right…i was googling for ‘.net mf tpl’ and one of the pages i came across was the one i posted…which i didn’t realize was talking about .net framework and not micro.
There were some newly introduced goodies that came along with TPL and .net4.0 that i was looking for…such as the concurrent and blocking structures. they are not core to tpl though and if they aren’t in mf already, i suppose they would not be that difficult to implement.
