Task Parallelism, Discrete Events and Recursive Splitting

Well this no better way to start off this blog than to answer the first question.

1)When you first saw this pattern title, did you feel like you knew the subject beforehand? After reading the pattern, did you confirm your impression or did it surprise you? How?

I have to be honest I did think that I knew what the subject was and I was surprised. I thought that is was a simple pattern of trying to add parallelism to sets of independent data. It was very interesting to see how this sort of pattern can be used to solve a wide range of problems. It would have been nice for me if they gave a simple code example to flush out the pattern a little better.

Recursive splitting was a very well written straight forward pattern. The examples they gave also helped clear up any confusion on what the pattern was actually doing.
