- Scalability
- Example implementations of several parallel algorithms
Most of the preceding chapters have focused on the tools you have in your new C++11 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 just how to build a hinge or a joint in order to make a cupboard or a table, there’s more to ...
