F# Streams
A SkillsCast for this session is not available.
Streams is a lightweight F#/C# library for efficient functional-style pipelines on sequential, parallel and distributed streams of data that can deliver significant perforance improvements. The main difference between LINQ/Seq and Streams is that LINQ is about composing external iterators (Enumerable/Enumerator) and Streams is based on the continuation-passing-style composition of internal iterators, which makes optimisations such as loop fusion easier. In this talk, we will present the main design of Streams and the performance optimisations it allows through a series of sequential/parallel/distributed query examples, discuss benchmarks and further future optimisation possibilities.
