Abstract
A parallel execution runtime allows tasks to be executed concurrently in a runtime environment. The parallel execution runtime delegates the implementation of task queuing, dispatch, and thread management to one or more plug-in schedulers in a runtime environment of a computer system. The plug-in schedulers may be provided by user code or other suitable sources and include interfaces that operate in conjunction with the runtime. The runtime tracks the schedulers and maintains control of all aspects of the execution of tasks from user code including task initialization, task status, task waiting, task cancellation, task continuations, and task exception handling.
