Explore C++20 and C++23 features for efficient concurrent programming. Learn how to manage tasks, futures, and coroutines to write responsive and scalable C++ code. Enhance your applications with better control and executionKey FeaturesLearn how to use modern C++ features, including futures, promises, async, and coroutines to build asynchronous solutionsDevelop cross-platform network and low-level I/O projects with Boost.AsioMaster optimization techniques by understanding how software adapts to machine hardwarePurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionAs hardware continues to evolve with greater memory capacity and multi-core processors, software must keep pace to efficiently utilize available resources and minimize idle CPU cycles. In this book, you will explore a wide range of parallel programming paradigms, including concurrent, parallel, multithreading, reactive, and event-driven programming, as well as dataflows. It clarifies the relationships between threads, processes, and services while guiding you through thread creation and management. You'll gain hands-on experience with C++’s thread-safety mechanisms, such as mutual exclusion, atomic operations, semaphores, condition variables, latches, and barriers. Unlike other books, it offers an in-depth approach to building and implementing asynchronous applications in C++. You'll master core concepts like futures, promises, async functions, and coroutines, alongside practical applications using third-party libraries. Step by step, you’ll leverage Boost.Asio and Boost.Cobalt to develop network and low-level I/O solutions while learning proven performance optimization techniques, testing strategies, and debugging methods. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped to develop high-performance applications using C++20 and C++23's cutting-edge asynchronous programming techniquesWhat you will learnExplore the different parallel paradigms and know when to apply themAcquire deep knowledge of thread management and safety mechanismsUnderstand asynchronous programming in C++, including coroutinesLeverage network asynchronous programming by using Boost.Asio and Boost.CobaltAdd proven performance and optimization techniques to your toolboxFind out how to test and debug asynchronous softwareWho this book is forThis book is for software engineers, developers and system programmers with some prior experience of C++ coding principles and familiar with networking, hardware and Linux systems.
