The Polyglot Programmer: Reaping The Benefits Of Cobra

STM.NET allows developers to mark their code with ACID-style transactional semantics, and leaves the grunt work of managing locks to the underlying environment.Ted NewardMSDN Magazine January 2010

Axum is not a general-purpose language like C# or VB, but one aimed squarely at the problem of concurrency, designed from the outset to be part of a suite of languages that collectively cooperate to solve a business problem.Ted NewardMSDN Magazine September 2009

See why you need to be a polyglot programmer and what mixing and matching languages can do for your projects.Ted NewardMSDN Magazine March 2009

T ypically, methods in managed executables are just-in-time (JIT) compiled. The machine code generated by the JIT compiler is thrown away once the process running that executable exits; therefore, the method must be recompiled when the application is run again. Surupa BiswasMSDN Magazine May 2006

Having more than one CPU core on a single chip makes a system with a processor with two cores operate just like a dual-processor computer, and a system with a processor with four cores operate like a quad-processor computer, so you get much better performance. But if your application does not take advantage of these multiple cores, you may not reap the benefits. OpenMP helps you create multithreaded C++ applications more quickly so the benefits of multithreading can be realized.Kang Su Gatlin and Pete IsenseeMSDN Magazine October 2005
