Chapter 6. Understanding Code Execution and Asynchronous Operations
This chapter covers solving performance problems in the execution of your code, which is not normally the first location that speed issues occur, but can be a good additional optimization. We'll discuss the areas where performance is needed, and where it is okay (or even required) to be slow. The merits of various data structures will be compared from the standard built-in generic collections to the more exotic. We will demonstrate how to compute operations in parallel, and how to take advantage of extra instruction sets that your CPU may provide. We'll dive into the internals of ASP.NET Core and .NET Core to highlight the improvements that you should be aware of.
The topics covered in this chapter include the following:
- .NET Core and the native tool chain
- Common Language Runtime (CLR) services such as GC, JIT, and NGen
- ASP.NET Core and the Kestrel web server
- Generic collections and Bloom filters
- Serialization...
