The CLR team has a couple of slides from their roadshow where they talk about two tracks, one discusses what happens insight the CLR, if you have some of the books recommended in the presentation, none of this would be new to you. It covers things like the IL which is the abstract representation of an execution semantic and how that is represented using an abstract stack machine, where we consecutively execute each instruction, using the stack as the evaluation of that execution and how this stack abstraction works. And two, there is a discussion on perf engineering including the GC, costs and pitfalls, etc.
On a different note, been out and about on a few days of holiday with family visiting, but its good to be back now.

The sooner we all understand the Concurrency ≠ CEP (Complex Event Processing), the better the world will be! CEP is generally used when we implement real-time systems (of course that is not the only area where CEP is used). Real-time does not mean concurrent or for that matter high-performing system. Of course there are correlations, but at the same time they are fundamentally different paradigms.... - March 17, 2012 -- What I am working on today? Optimisation Algorithms (0)
I often get the question – a what am I working on today? Some of the things I can’t discuss in an open forum, but some I can. Those that I can, I thought it was best to share via my blog and do quick small posts on it. Will this become a new series? Well time will tell – depends on how much bandwidth I will have. This weekend, I am researching Optimisation Algorithms – both Deterministic and Probabilistic. Specifically interested in Swarm Intelligence (which are a type of Monte Carlo algorithm)... - June 16, 2011 -- Occasionally Connected Architecture (0)
When implementing an occasionally connected architecture for a solution, there are three fundamental requirements: Part of the overall solution, some smart client is deployed and installed on the desktop and a web only approach is not possible. The main rational being that a smart client can work in a disconnected mode which of course with a web application is not possible. Underlying infrastructure needs to be in place to support this. Infrastructure is not specifically networks and ser...
