Multi-threaded programming has been of particular interest to me for decades (since my early years programming for OS/2). Whenever I write code, I look for ways to do things in parallel.
My new data management system is highly parallel. I am always finding tasks that take minutes to complete and getting them down to just seconds (when running on multi-core CPUs) by getting multiple threads working together on the same problem.
Just yesterday, I found a task that was taking over 12 minutes to finish (inserting 125 million key/value pairs into a data store) and was able to get it to do the same task in just 37 seconds (running on my 16 core/32 thread CPU) by spinning off multiple threads.
