PQR - A Simple Design Pattern for Multicore Enterprise Applications

Chris Waves the Red Flag

Fellow Code Talker Christopher Diggins recently blogged The Concurrent Future is not Multi-Threaded. He raises interesting issues, raises, in fact, the most interesting issue, when he writes:

"There is simply no way that multi-threaded code can remain the defacto method of constructing concurrent applications."

The Problem

The tricks which deliver efficiency in the multithreaded emulation of parallelism made familiar by sound application programming practices on popular platforms do not efficiently leverage multiple cores.
