Thursday | 10:00am - 11:00am | 515A

Axum is an incubation project from Microsoft's Parallel Computing Platform that aims to validate a safe and productive parallel programming model for the .NET framework. It's a language that builds on the principles of isolation, agents, and message-passing to increase application safety, responsiveness, scalability and developer productivity. Come learn about Axum and other advanced concepts we are exploring including data flow networks, asynchronous methods, and protocol-based component interactions.
