C++ Concurrency

HIGHLIGHT C++ Concurrency in Action is the first book to market to show how to take advantage of the new C++ Standard and how to write robust multi-threaded applications in C++. DESCRIPTION With the new C++ Standard and Technical Report 2 (TR2), multi-threading is coming to C++ in a big way. TR2 will provide higher-level synchronization facilities that allow for a much greater level of abstraction, and make programming multi-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 familiar with writing multi-threaded code in C++ using platform-specific APIs, or in other languages, as well as C++ programmers who have never written multithreaded code 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
