C++ Concurrency - Anthony Williams

. .

Résumé :
HIGHLIGHTC++ Concurrency in Action is the first book to market to show how to takeadvantage of the new C++ Standard and how to write robust multi-threadedapplications in C++.DESCRIPTIONWith the new C++ Standard and Technical Report 2 (TR2), multi-threading iscoming to C++ in a big way. TR2 will provide higher-level synchronization facilitiesthat allow for a much greater level of abstraction, and make programmingmulti-threaded applications simpler and safer.As a guide and reference to the new concurrency features in the upcoming C++Standard and TR2, this book is invaluable for existing programmers familiarwith writing multi-threaded code in C++ using platform-specific APIs, or inother languages, as well as C++ programmers who have never written multithreadedcode before.KEY POINTS. When and when not to use concurrency. Concurrency and multi-threading in C++. Concurrency support in the New Standard. How to improve performance with concurrency. How to manage concurrency. Problems and solutions in sharing data. Synchronization and why we need it. Memory model details
