I’ve been interested in parallel computing practically since I started 20 years ago.  I even theorized about how one might use web services to achieve a distributed parallel computer.  But, an official Parallel platform for .NET from Microsoft?!

If you’ve ever run into a situation where you just need a simple evaluation and assign a variable based on it.  Like this: Read the rest of this entry »
