A Tour of Various TPL Options  A Tour of Various TPL Options
• Comments 5  The Task Parallel Library (TPL) exposes various
options that give you more control over how tasks get scheduled
and executed:    • Choose whether to optimize for fairness or
for overheads when scheduling tasks.   • Specially mark tasks
known to be long-running to help the scheduler execute
efficiently.   • Create a task as attached or detached to the
parent task.   • Schedule continuations that run if a task threw
an exception or got cancelled.   • Run tasks synchronously.
Joseph E. Hoag's article A Tour of Various TPL Options explains
these options in detail, accompanied by examples of correct and
incorrect uses.  (This paper and many more are available through
