    dual CPU implications

    Jul 5, 2007 2:22 PM by Alex Zakharov

    Unfortunately the talk never coverd native resource wrappers or multi-CPU situations. Looks like the former is covered reasonably well here msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fh21e17c.aspx.

    I'd be very interested in checking out an in-depth discussions/articles on GC behavior on multi CPU machines.
