Hi,

please feel free to correct me if this is the wrong group to ask this
question. I have a blog about parallel programming and concurrency
(http://www.thinkingparallel.com if you are interested). I would like to do
some interviews with the so-called "parallel programming gurus" of our time
and ask them only 10 short questions about their particular parallel
programming system. I have come up with the following list of people (in no
particular order):

Sanjiv Shah (Intel) - OpenMP
David Butenhof (HP) - POSIX Threads
William Pugh (University of Maryland) - Java Threads
William D. Gropp (Argonne National Laboratory) - MPI
Joe Armstrong (Ericsson) - Erlang
?? (Microsoft) - .NET-Threads

You will notice one is missing: the guru for .NET-threads. I am more at home
in the linux-world and therefore have no idea who that might be. Googleing
around I have found possible candidates like Chris Brumme, Vance Morrison,
Herb Sutter or Rico Mariani, but I am not really sure if I have found the
right one, yet.

Therefore I would like to ask for your opinion: who is
the .NET-Threads-guru? Inventor? Father? Most respected founder? Whatever
you want to call that guy ;-). Of course, I would also appreciate any
comments on the rest of my list above.

Oh, and I know most of these people probably don't have the time to give a
young blogger like me an email-interview. But maybe some of them do and if
I don't at least try, I will never know :-).

Thanks for your input,
best regards,
Michael Suess

Jeff Richter is the "go-to" guy for this.

You certainly wouldn't go wrong with Joe Duffy though.
