Concurrency with Modern C++

By: Rainer Grimm

Overview of this book

C++11 is the first C++ standard that deals with concurrency. The story goes on with C++17 and will continue with C++20/23. Concurrency with Modern C++ is a practical guide that gets you to grips with concurrent programming in Modern C++. Starting with the C++ memory model and using many ready-to-run code examples, the book covers everything you need to improve your C++ multithreading skills. You'll gain insight into different design patterns. You'll also uncover the general consideration you have to keep in mind while designing a concurrent data structure. The final chapter in the book talks extensively about the common pitfalls of concurrent programming and ways to overcome these hurdles. By the end of the book, you'll have the skills to build your own concurrent programs and enhance your knowledge base.

Parallel Algorithms of the Standard Template Library

The Standard Template Library has more than 100 algorithms for searching, counting, and manipulation of ranges and their elements. With C++17, 69 of them get new overloads and eight new ones are added. The overloaded, and new algorithms can be invoked with a so-called execution policy.

By using an execution policy, you can specify whether the algorithm should run sequentially, in parallel, or parallel with vectorisation. For using the execution policy, you have to include the header <execution>.
