Last time, I introduced the topic of fixed operation rates and how one might implement this functionality with ad-hoc code. Today, I will generalize the concept with a simple Throttle library. As I mentioned before, we have to keep track…
Operation throttle: part 1
A while back I discussed some design points relating to fixed concurrency, such as when attempting to ensure a constant number of simultaneous active requests throughout a load test. Today I will jump back to the single-threaded world and discuss…
Microbenchmarks with BenchmarkDotNet
They say that the fastest prime number algorithm for small inputs (up to 216) is a lookup table. But this got me thinking — would it be faster to use HashSet.Contains or a List.BinarySearch? The answer to this type of…
Take it to the limit: generic type parameters
What is the highest number of generic type parameters can you have on a single type in C#? I know from experience that the answer is at least 130. (Don’t ask.) But is there an upper bound? According to Stack…
