The Modern C++ Challenge

Overview of this book

C++ is one of the most widely-used programming languages and has applications in a variety of fields, such as gaming, GUI programming, and operating systems, to name a few. Through the years, C++ has evolved into (and remains) one of the top choices for software developers worldwide. This book will show you some notable C++ features and how to implement them to meet your application needs. Each problem is unique and doesn't just test your knowledge of the language; it tests your ability to think out of the box and come up with the best solutions. With varying levels of difficulty, you'll be faced with a wide variety of challenges. And in case you're stumped, you don't have to worry: we've got the best solutions to the problems in the book. So are you up for the challenge?

Problems

61. Parallel transform algorithm

Write a general-purpose algorithm that applies a given unary function to transform the elements of a range in parallel. The unary operation used to transform the range must not invalidate range iterators or modify the elements of the range. The level of parallelism, that is, the number of execution threads and the way it is achieved, is an implementation detail.

62. Parallel min and max element algorithms using threads

Implement general-purpose parallel algorithms that find the minimum value and, respectively, the maximum value...
