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.

Case Studies

After providing the theory on the memory model and the multithreading interface, I now apply the theory in practice and provide you with a few performance numbers.

You should take the performance numbers with a grain of salt. I’m not interested in the exact number for each variation of the algorithms on Linux and Windows. I’m more interested in getting a gut feeling of which algorithms may work and which algorithms may not work. I’m not comparing the absolute numbers of my Linux desktop with the numbers on my Windows laptop, but...
