Chapter 8. Designing concurrent code
This chapter covers
- Techniques for dividing data between threads
- Factors that affect the performance of concurrent code
- How performance factors affect the design of data structures
- Exception safety in multithreaded code
- Scalability
- Example implementations of several parallel algorithms
Most of the preceding chapters have focused on the tools you have in your C++ toolbox for writing concurrent code. In chapters 6 and 7 we looked at how to use those tools to design basic data structures that are safe for concurrent access by multiple threads. Much as a carpenter needs to know more than how to build a hinge or a joint in order to make a cupboard or a table, there’s more to designing concurrent code than the ...
