Abstract
With version 4.0 of the .NET Framework, Microsoft introduced a new model for writing applications that need to perform multiple simultaneous tasks—that model is known as parallel programming, and the implementation is called the Task Parallel Library. Unlike the traditional approach to multitasking, where you create and manage a set of threads in your code, the new parallel programming model lets you focus on the tasks you need to accomplish and allows the runtime to create and manage the threads on your behalf.
