Professional Multicore Programming Design And Implementation For C++ Developers

0.0

This book presents the basics of multicore programming in terms the average, experienced software developer can understand. The reader is introduced to the everyday fundamentals of programming for multiprocessor and multithreaded architecture and then moved on to multi-core programming. This book takes complicated almost unapproachable parallel programming techniques and presents them in a simple, understandable manner. The authors address the pitfalls and traps of concurrency programming and synchronization. They also provide a no nonsense discussion of multithreading models, along with numerous programming examples that demonstrate successful multi-core programming, in addition to methods and techniques for debugging and testing multicore programming. Topics covered in this book: The Basic Challenges of Multicore Programming Approaches To Multicore Programming Mutexes, Semaphores, and Locking Posix/Java Thread Programming Testing and Debugging Multi-core Programs
