Is there a good podcast about concurrency?

Question

Hi All,

Concurrency is one of the hot topics on quite a few technology podcasts. Yet I couldn't find a podcast dedicated to concurrency programming fundamentals, techniques etc. If there's no podcast that specializes on concurrency which of technology podcasts highlights this topic best?

Answer 1

I follow High Scalability RSS feeds. It's actually about web stuff, but you might find it interesting.

Answer 2

I don't know of a podcast that is dedicated to concurrency, but you can find interesting discussions about concurrency in:

• Channel 9 (mostly video but I listen to the audio track in the car)
• Intel
• Software engineering radio

The links are to the concurrency tag.

Answer 3

Also not aware of specific podcasts dedicated to this.

But: I found the following two podcasts fairly interesting in regard to concurrency and scalability.

Answer 4

Others have already mentioned it, but I thought I'd emphasize that SE Radio have quite a few good concurrency episodes, including a 3-part primer on concurrency. I would recommend SE Radio in general as a great resource.

Answer 5

For parallel scientific applications, see RCE.
