Areas examined include organizing code; working with numbers, strings and text; managing data with containers; dealing with dates and times; multithreading; internationalization; exceptions and safety; and science and mathematics.

The Power4 will include hardware-assisted multithreading and smart caching technologies that IBM's chip designers in Rochester, Minnesota have perfected for the AS/400.

Furthermore, for the most part, SQL functions are amenable to being called in a procedural fashion and directly returning while some POSIX functions, such as signalling and multithreading, implicitly pervade the operation of a calling program.

They start early on classes and objects, then move quickly to control statements, methods, arrays, object oriented programming, polymorphism, exception handling, graphical user interface concepts, multithreading, strings, characters, regular expressions, graphics and multimedia, files and streams, extensible markup language, database, SQL, ADO.NET, ASP.NET 2.0, web forms and web controls, web services, networking, data structures, generics, and collections.

All of these steps actually occur in parallel in a multithreading environment.

Also at the event, Compaq Computer Corp will detail its plans to add simultaneous multithreading in the future Alpha EV8 processor.

At the conceptual level, bandwidth considerations (essential to the I/O component of UIs), expectations of multithreading, multitasking, distribution, as well as networking requirements, are efficiently addressed.

- Multi-core CPU, multithreading, and NVIDIA CUDA supported, which makes DVD ripping and conversion process 5X faster.

Multithreading provides the capability to launch a thread on a per-site basis.
