.NET Design Patterns

By: Praseed Pai, Shine Xavier

Overview of this book

Knowing about design patterns enables developers to improve their code base, promoting code reuse and making their design more robust. This book focuses on the practical aspects of programming in .NET. You will learn about some of the relevant design patterns (and their application) that are most widely used. We start with classic object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques, evaluate parallel programming and concurrency models, enhance implementations by mixing OOP and functional programming, and finally to the reactive programming model where functional programming and OOP are used in synergy to write better code. Throughout this book, we’ll show you how to deal with architecture/design techniques, GoF patterns, relevant patterns from other catalogs, functional programming, and reactive programming techniques. After reading this book, you will be able to convincingly leverage these design patterns (factory pattern, builder pattern, prototype pattern, adapter pattern, facade pattern, decorator pattern, observer pattern and so on) for your programs. You will also be able to write fluid functional code in .NET that would leverage concurrency and parallelism!

Preface

Speculative execution


Now that we have seen close to three different implementation strategies of the Schönhage-Strassen algorithm, how do we perform deliberate calibration, and decide which is the best strategy (now that we understand that it has a close co-relation with its environment and associated resources)?

Note

This is where this important pattern really helps us make a decision, when deviations against anticipated results are unavoidable, and need to be smartly addressed.

We would schedule asynchronous tasks for each of these strategies for execution, leverage the WaitAny method of the Task class to wait for one of the operations to complete (one that finishes first), and attempt to cancel all others. On a smart-learning front, this could be done periodically to continuously calibrate and cache your strategy for mass consumption. It's an aspect of machine learning where the program intelligently adapts to sieve and use effective algorithms. See the following code that incorporates...
