Applied parallel computing in .NET
After more than 40 years Moore's law is still going strong, and it looks like it will continue to do so for at least ten more years, and the free performance lunch is over, unless we change the way we think and program our applications. .NET 4.0 introduced technologies Concurrency Runtime, Task Parallel Library, and Parallel LINQ to help us transition into the world of multi-core programming.

In 2004 he started Many-core, a company that helped customers around Europe to adopt .NET framework and related technologies in their projects, by training and mentoring them. He works closely with Microsoft, both as Author, and Technology Reviewer for the Microsoft .NET Official Curriculum courses. He is a member of the MCT Advisory Council, INETA Speaker, IASA Speaker, and INETA Country Lead for Sweden. He is interested in technologies like multi-core programming, ASP.NET, new programming languages and trends. You can find him at industry conferences around the globe, like TechEd, VSLive, DevReach, NDC, Öredev, Scandev, and TechDays. He does have a somewhat outdated blog at http://blog.multi-core.net. For his contributions in the area of Parallel Computing he was awarded the MVP title by Microsoft.
