Using Concurrency Visualizer

Concurrency Visualizer is a very handy addition to the Visual Studio tools collection. It doesn't get shipped by default in Visual Studio, but can be downloaded from the Visual Studio Marketplace here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com.

This is a very advanced tool that can be used to troubleshoot complex threading issues such as performance bottlenecks, thread contention issues, checking CPU utilization, cross-core thread migrations, and areas of overlapped I/O.

Concurrency Visualizer only supports Windows/console projects and is not available for web projects. Let's consider the following code in a console application:

Action computeAction = () =>
{
int i = 0;
    while (true)
    {
        i = 1 * 1;
    }
};
Task.Run(() => computeAction());
Task.Run(() => computeAction());
Task.Run(() => computeAction());
Task.Run(() => computeAction...
