The support for asynchronous programming in C# and .NET has been around for over a decade. In that time, it’s transformed how scalable code is written for .NET. Stephen Toub dives into the history leading to, the design decisions behind, and implementation details of asynchronous programming in C# and .NET.
Some highlights:

• .NET has a universal representation for any asynchronous operation
• C# and the compiler are capable of rewriting normal control flow into a state machine implementation of coroutines
• There are established patterns that bind everything together

Notes on FFTs: for implementers

Published: 19 March 2023
Tags: algorithms, cpu, math

Fabian Giesen explores different ways of implementing the Fast Fourier Transform, and the pros and cons of each method.
Some highlights:

• The Cooley-Tukey family of algorithms is the most popular, but it can be difficult to understand how it works if you don't have a background in linear algebra
• A ring-theoretic approach is recommended, as it is the most insightful in terms of showing the actual structure of the problem
• You don’t have to pick strictly between iterative and recursive approaches, and you can get the best of both worlds by recursing for larger to medium sizes, and handling the small sub-FFTs iteratively.
