Explore a conference talk demonstrating the "WorkerBees" project, which enables parallel execution of APL tasks on separate threads using hosted APL and .NET async/await concepts. Learn about SimCorp's motivation for cloud migration, the principles of hosted APL, and how to create reusable "APL worker bees" for dedicated tasks. Discover the process of exporting APL classes as .NET DLLs, enabling multi-host support, and implementing a parallelized N-Queens solution. Gain insights into isolates, multi-hosting, debugging hosted sessions, and the steps to build your own APL Worker Bees for efficient parallel processing.
