Memory usage in multi-threaded applications

Multi-threading is a powerful technique for improving application performance by allowing multiple operations to run concurrently. This capability is handy in modern computing environments where processors have multiple cores, enabling parallel code execution. However, effective multi-threading requires a deep understanding of memory usage, potential pitfalls, and best practices to avoid common errors.

Multi-threaded programming is a subset of concurrent programming that involves using multiple threads within a single process to perform different tasks simultaneously. Unlike concurrent programming, which is more about structure and could involve a single processor, multi-threading explicitly involves multiple execution threads managed by a multitasking pre-emptive scheduler.

It is well documented that .NET manages memory through a managed heap where all .NET objects reside. The .NET GC automatically allocates and releases memory, reducing...
