MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 2010

Overview


2/11

Every year the industry develops new technologies and new trends. With Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft delivers tooling and

framework support for the latest innovations in application architecture, development and deployment. Two of the major advancesin development trends occurring soon are the extension of development to the cloud and the ability to easily construct applications

that use the latest multi-core hardware in parallel.

Cloud Development

On October 27th 2008 we announced Windows Azure

the comprehensive cloud environment from Microsoft. With

Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio

you can build, debug and deploy services and applications

for Windows Azure.

Windows Azure offers a scalable hosting environment for

the Internet, built on geographically distributed data centers.

It handles load balancing and resource management and

automatically manages the life cycle of a service based on

requirements that you establish. With the service, you include

code specifications for the service topology, the number of

instances to deploy, and any configuration settings. Windows

Azure deploys the service and manages upgrades and failures

to maintain availability.

The Windows Azure environment is designed as a utility

computing model, so that you pay only for the resources

used by your service, while benefitting from the reliability and

performance provided by the hosting environment.

Windows Azure Tools provide the means to create services and

applications within the framework of Visual Studio. That includes

a project model specifically for Windows Azure, as well as the

debugging capabilities of Visual Studio. With Visual Studio, you

can build a package containing your service, and use Windows

Azure Tools to deploy the package to Windows Azure through the

Windows Live Developer Portal.

Parallel Programming

As processor manufacturing approaches the physical limits of thematerials science involved, the annual growth of raw sequentialprocessing throughput has all but flattened. Moores Law regarding

the doubling of transistor density continues, but the dividendsof Moores Law can no longer be applied to continued dramaticincreases in clock frequency. Instead, processors are now evolvingunder a new paradigm where multiple cores are placed on a singledie to increase overall processor computational horsepower.Sequential applications that had previously benefited from fasterprocessors do not see the same scaling as the number of processorcores grows. To fully harness the scaling power of multicore and

manycore systems, applications must be redesigned, decomposedinto parts that can be computed in parallel and distributed acrossavailable cores. At the same time, parallel programming is complexdifficult and labor-intensive, for even the most skilled developers.

Microsoft is committed to simplifying parallel programming forboth native and managed code developers, so they can safely and

productively build robust, scalable and responsive applications.

Microsofts solutions span from local to distributed computingand from task concurrency to data parallelism. Microsoft plans todeliver a solution-stack consisting of OS resource management, aconcurrency runtime, programming models, language extensions,libraries, and tools.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 bears the stamp of Microsoftscommitment and provides a solid foundation for the parallel age.Its significant improvements to the core platform and tools forboth native and managed applications offer developers improvedconfidence, simplicity, and productivity in producing parallelapplications. It will include the following:

Visual Studio IDE support for parallel programming

Parallel Pattern Library: Native C++ libraries that uselambda functions and align well with STL

Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework: Library-based support for imperative data and task parallelismvia the Task Parallel Library, support for declarative dataparallelism via PLINQ, and work coordination and managingshared state via the Coordination Data Structures

Concurrency Runtime: Resource management ofthe multicore hardware and task scheduling

Parallel debugging windows which will provide a view of tasksrunning in the application, and a graphical view of parallel call stac

Parallel profiling views which will give developers an understanding

of their applications core utilization, thread behavior andcontention blocking, and thread execution pattern per core.

Microsofts holistic approach to simplifying parallel programming

serves as a foundation to help developers overcome the challenges

of designing and implementing parallel applications, thereby

enabling the tremendous opportunities for software renewal that

the manycore shift represents.
