Hi, > > ParallelFx[0] is a library designed to help programmers write more > easily parallel and concurrent code on .NET platform. As part of > Summer of Code (this year and last year), I coded a free > reimplementation of this library to work on top of Mono. > > Up until now, the code was living in mono-soc-2008 repository[1] > hosted on Google Code. Since .NET 4 beta has been released (and as it > bundles ParallelFx into the BCL [2]) it seems about time to move the > development of ParallelFx into Mono trunk with the 4.0 profile. > > The patch (http://is.gd/1P4n7) contains 2 of the 3 parts of ParallelFx > : the TPL (Task Parallel Library) and DSC (Data Structures for > Coordination). Modified/added namespaces are `System.Threading', > `System.Collections. > Concurrent' and `System.Threading.Tasks'. The last component, PLinq, > is working but hasn't yet been ported to the 4.0 API and thus isn't > suitable for integration. > > It's quite a big patch but I would very much welcome any input on it > and especially if it's ok for inclusion.

The major issues are
- The patch has to be integrated into mscorlib first, some parts have to be rewritten because there is no LINQ in mscorlib - Missing or not implemented functionality should be marked with MonoTODO attribute for future references. - In some cases it should be better to use existing type containers like Tuple instead of creating new ones.
