Coding Faster with dotNetTips.com Spargine 10: October 2026 Release

Inside PGO

In the previous article , we made Go code faster by changing how it computes. SIMD lets one CPU instruction work on several values at once, and the simd/archsimd and simd packages give Go access to it. Our dot product ran about 9 times faster, but the code got a lot harder to read. At the end, I promised another route to speed, one where you don’t rewrite anything. That route is Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO). You record a CPU profile of where your program spends its time and give it back to the compiler, so it can work harder on the code that is actually hot. Your source stays exactly as it was. We briefly saw it in the IR post , and today we’re going deep into it.

Microsoft.UI.Reactor: a C#-first way to build WinUI apps

Microsoft.UI.Reactor là một framework C# để phát triển ứng dụng WinUI, ra mắt tại Microsoft Build 2026. Framework này giải quyết vấn đề hiệu năng khi render UI bằng cách implement virtual DOM pattern tương tự React. Thử nghiệm cho thấy UI.Render cải thiện 30% tốc độ so với WinUI truyền thống. Điều đáng học hỏi là cách tiếp cận hybrid này kết hợp ưu điểm của C# với pattern từ frontend JavaScript. Bạn nên đọc bài gốc nếu đang tìm cách tối ưu hóa hiệu năng cho ứng dụng WinUI của mình.

Microsoft.UI.Reactor mang đến cách tiếp cận đơn giản hóa và hiệu quả hơn để phát triển ứng dụng WinUI bằng C#.
