Over 60 recipes to help you create ultra-fast multithreaded applications using C++ with rules, guidelines, and best practices Overview Create multithreaded applications using the power of C++ Upgrade your applications with parallel execution in easy-to-understand stepsStay up to date with new Windows 8 concurrent tasksAvoid classical synchronization problemsUnderstand Windows API and concurrent execution What you will learn from this book Use an object-oriented programming model with inheritance, overloading, and polymorphismSolve common Interprocess Communication problems and avoid deadlocks or starvation problems in your application developmentManage threads efficiently using the CThread classExplore .NET CLI/C++ features as well as synchronization objects and techniquesMake use of parallel techniques in code designUse machine resources in concurrent executionEnable programs to work with each other using Message PassingAvoid classic synchronization problems In DetailCreating multithreaded applications is a present-day approach towards programming. With the power of C++, you can easily create various types of applications and perform parallelism and optimizations in your existing work. This book is a practical, powerful, and easy-to-understand guide to C++ multithreading. You will learn how to benefit from the multithreaded approach and enhance your development skills to build better applications. This book will not only help you avoid problems when creating parallel code, but also help you to understand synchronization techniques. The end goal of the book will be to impart various multithreading concepts that will enable you to do parallel computing and concurrent programming quickly and efficiently.ApproachThe book is an easy-to-follow guide for creating multi-threaded applications using C++. Each topic is thoroughly explained with multiple illustrations. Many algorithms, such as Dinning Philosophers Problem give you thorough explanations that will help you to understand and solve concurrent tasks.Who this book is forThe book is intended for enterprise developers and programmers who wish to make use of C++ capabilities to learn the multithreaded approach. Knowledge of multithreading along with experience in C++ is an added advantage. However it is not a prerequisite.
