From the Foreword by Craig Mundie, Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Microsoft Corporation Author Joe Duffy has risen to the challenge of explaining how to write software that takes full advantage of concurrency and hardware parallelism. In Concurrent Programming on Windows, he explains how to design, implement, and maintain large-scale together programs, primarily using C # and C + + for Windows. Duffy aims to provide applications, systems, and library developers the tools and techniques needed to write efficient, safe code for multicore processors. This is important not only for the type of problems where concurrency is inherent and easily exploitable? Such as application servers, computing-intensive image manipulation, financial analysis, simulation, and AI algorithms but also to? Problems that can be accelerated using parallelism but require more effort? such as math libraries, sort routines, report preparation, XML manipulation, and stream processing algorithms. Concurrent Programming on Windows has four main sections: The first introduces concurrency at a high level, followed by a section that focuses on the fundamental platform features, inner workings, and API details. This is the only book you and will? Need to learn best practices and common patterns for programming with concurrency on Windows. NET.
