High performance wcf

Question

How do I maximize performance for my wcf service? Is it possible to take advantage of multicore? or multi-threading?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

The following Behavior properties default to the simplest (single threaded) solution, changing them from their default values will give you multiple threading, including self-hosted services.

• ConcurrencyMode default is Single (single threaded)
• UseSynchronizationContext default is True (effectively single threaded in UI self hosted scenario)

You may want to also look at InstanceContextMode also this MSDN article gives a starting point on WCF Concurrency.
