The c# lock free library project – first public preview

     Right now, I finished to port from Java lock free hash table and queue. You can get it from here. The good news, is it seems to work. The bad news, traditional implementation using locks performs faster in tests I did (I tested on 2 and 4 core machines). However, this is contradictive to the research results done on this topic (read more about research done in this field here). Therefore, I believe there are two (or more) possible explanations for that: my code is not optimized or/and, the way I doing my tests is wrong. How I did my tests: I used class I created for this purpose, which is called “Executer” (included in provoded package). Is works same as the BackgroundWorker class, with 2 differences: you can specify number of threads to work, and you can specify time to perform that work.  You can use this class to test many other things in multithreading environment.

      Please send me feedback about this staff, so I could improve it and make it better for all us. The code released under GPL license. Declaimer: I did my best on writing this code and I hope it will be useful, however I not responsible for any damage it could do – so use it on your own risk.

Important: Dead Links

Hi folks. As you probably noticed, I using free host for my blog (the wordpress). One of the drawbacks of that is I don’t have any space to host my demo applications. As a result, I have to store my staff on public storage services. The one I used in past is SendSpace service. Unfortunately, as it discovered later, SendSpace deleting files after a while. This is the reason why some of the links don’t work. Right now I switched to RapidShare and I hope they will keep my files. For all guys who asking me about demo of “fast rendering”: SendSpace deleted my demo, and I don’t have any backup. If someone downloaded it in the past and still have it, please contact me so i will reupload it again. Right now I not planning to rewrite that demo, simply because I don’t have spare time for that. Basically, all important staff located in the article itself. If you need me to clarify specific points, write me (and as well about anything else) and I will try to find time to help.

Yours, Evgeni
