- Intel Threading Tools and OpenMP
- Explicit threading methods, such as Windows threads or POSIX threads, use library calls to create, manage, and synchronize threads. Use of explicit threads requires an almost complete restructuring of affected code. On the other hand, OpenMP is a set of pragmas, API functions, and environment variables that enable one to...

- How do I... Use threading to increase performance in C#? (Part 1)
- Threading is commonly used by developers to increase the performance of applications. However, if used incorrectly threading can have the exact opposite effect. Bad threading logic can actually slow down an application, or worse, cause an application to have inconsistent exceptions. There really isn't much to be worried about though...
