Part 2: Advanced Thread Management and Synchronization Techniques
In this part, we build upon the foundational knowledge of parallel programming and dive deeper into advanced techniques for managing threads and synchronizing concurrent operations. We will explore essential concepts such as thread creation and management, exception handling across threads, and efficient thread coordination, acquiring a solid understanding of key synchronization primitives, including mutexes, semaphores, condition variables, and atomic operations. All this knowledge will equip us with the tools needed to implement both lock-based and lock-free multithreaded solutions, offering a glimpse into high-performance concurrent systems, and providing the skills necessary to avoid common pitfalls such as race conditions, deadlocks, and livelocks when managing multithreaded systems.
This part has the following chapters:
- Chapter 3, How to Create and Manage Threads in C++
- Chapter 4, Thread Synchronization...
