CLR Inside Out: Using concurrency for scalability

CLR Inside Out: Using concurrency for scalability: "ny algorithm managing real resources also has to take into account cross-machine utilization. Software that makes entirely local decisions to maximize parallelism—especially in a server environment such as ASP.NET—can (and will!) lead to chaos as well as an increase in contention for resources, including CPUs. A ForAll-style loop, for example, might query the processor utilization before deciding the optimal number of tasks dynamically."
