Concurrent Programming: Principles and PracticeConcurrent Programming: Principles and Practice
 This book provides an in-depth overview of underlying principles as well as practical techniques that can be used to design concurrent programs. (Greg Andrews)
|
Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed ProgrammingFoundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed Programming
 This book teaches the fundamental concepts of multithreaded, parallel and distributed computing. Emphasizes how to solve problems, with correctness the primary concern and performance an important, but secondary, concern. (Gregory R. Andrews)

Generic Synchronization Policies in C++Generic Synchronization Policies in C++
 Most uses of synchronization code in multi-threaded applications fall into a small number of high-level “usage patterns”, or what can be called generic synchronization policies (GSPs). This paper illustrates how the use of such GSPs simplify the writing of thread-safe classes. In addition, this paper presents a C++ class library that implements commonly-used GSPs.

Portable Thread Synchronization using C++Portable Thread Synchronization using C++
 Provides example C++ classes implementing a series of synchronization objects useful for building portable (Solaris and Win32) multithreaded applications.
|
Priority Inheritance ProtocolsPriority Inheritance Protocols
 Use of synchronization mechanisms like semaphores, monitors, and critical regions can lead to uncontrolled priority inversion. [PDF]

What's New in Boost Threads?What's New in Boost Threads?
 The Boost.Thread library, which enables the use of multiple threads of execution with shared data in portable C++ code, has undergone some major changes. (October 24, 2008)

Deadlock: The Problem and a SolutionDeadlock: The Problem and a Solution
 This article explains what deadlocks are and describes ways of circumventing deadlocks. (September 18, 2008)
|
The Many Faces of DeadlockThe Many Faces of Deadlock
 Explains that deadlock can happen whenever there is a blocking (or waiting) cycle among concurrent tasks. (July 31, 2008)
|
Maximize Locality, Minimize ContentionMaximize Locality, Minimize Contention
 Explains why in the concurrent world, locality is a first-order issue that trumps most other performance considerations. Now locality is no longer just about fitting well into cache and RAM, but to avoid scalability busters by keeping tightly coupled data physically close together and separately used data far, far apart. (May 23, 2008)

Sutter Speaks: The Future of ConcurrencySutter Speaks: The Future of Concurrency
 What does the future hold for concurrency? What will happen to the tools and techniques around concurrent programming? In part two of our series, concurrency guru Herb Sutter talks about these issues and what developers need to be reading to understand concurrency. (May 8, 2008)
|
Sutter Speaks: A Conversation with the Concurrency WhispererSutter Speaks: A Conversation with the Concurrency Whisperer
 Multi- and many-core chips are entering the mainstream — and one of the first software development authorities to take note was C++ expert Herb Sutter. Thanks to his practical insights, a new generation may grok concurrency sooner than previously thought possible. (March 27, 2008)
|
Application-Level Abstractions for Lock-Free Data SharingApplication-Level Abstractions for Lock-Free Data Sharing
 Describes lock-free data sharing, otherwise known as "wait-free data sharing" as an alternative to the use of locks. (December 21, 2007)
|
Use Lock Hierarchies to Avoid DeadlockUse Lock Hierarchies to Avoid Deadlock
 Explains how to use lock hierarchies to avoid deadlock by assigning each shared resource a level that corresponds to its architectural layer. (December 11, 2007)
|
Apply Critical Sections ConsistentlyApply Critical Sections Consistently
 Critical sections are the One True Tool for guaranteeing mutual exclusion on shared variables. Like most tools, these must be applied consistently, and with the intended meanings. (October 10, 2007)
|
Concurrency with ErlangConcurrency with Erlang
 To avoid problems with shared state working with multiple threads, Vinoski recommends a programming language like Erlang rather than C++ or Java. (September, 2007)
|
The Pillars of ConcurrencyThe Pillars of Concurrency
 This article makes the case that a consistent mental model is needed to talk about concurrency. (July 2, 2007)

It's (Not) All Been DoneIt's (Not) All Been Done
 Every decade or so there is a major revolution in the way software is developed. But, unlike the object and web revolutions, the concurrency revolution can be seen coming. (September, 2006)
|
Lock-free Interprocess CommunicationLock-free Interprocess Communication
 Interprocess communication is an essential component of modern software engineering. Often, lock-free IPC is accomplished via special processor commands. This article propose a communication type that requires only atomic writing of processor word from processor cache into main memory and atomic processor word reading from main memory into the processor register or processor cache. (June 15, 2006)

The Problem with ThreadsThe Problem with Threads
 Argues that for concurrent programming to become mainstream, threads must be discarded as a programming model. Nondeterminism should be judiciously and carefully introduced where needed, and it should be explicit in programs. (May, 2006)
|
Software and the Concurrency RevolutionSoftware and the Concurrency Revolution
 Focuses on the implications of concurrency for software and its consequences for both programming languages and programmers. (Herb Sutter and James Larus) (September, 2005)
