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...
