Tips and tricks to design concurrent algorithms
In this section, we have compiled some tips and tricks you have to keep in mind to design good concurrent applications.
Identify the correct independent tasks
You can only execute concurrent tasks that are independent of each other. If you have two or more tasks with an order dependency between them, maybe you have no interest in trying to execute them concurrently and including a synchronization mechanism to guarantee the execution order. The tasks will execute in a sequential way, and you will have to overcome the synchronization mechanism. A different situation is when you have a task with some prerequisites, but these prerequisites are independent of each other. In this case, you can execute the ...
