Lock-Free Concurrency in Modern C++: Designing Reliable, Scalable, and Predictable Multithreaded Software Without Traditional Locks - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Modern C++ concurrency is not about standard locks. It is about physics. When you write low-latency servers or high-frequency trading engines, traditional mutual exclusion destroys your throughput. True performance requires mechanical sympathy—understanding the processor's memory bus, cache coherency protocols, and atomic hardware instructions.

This book is a masterclass in lock-free systems engineering. I will guide you from the foundational physics of multi-core hardware to the complete architecture of a non-blocking, event-driven trading engine. You will learn to bypass the kernel entirely, eliminate cache contention, and write code that operates at the absolute physical limits of your silicon.

What's inside

• The Hardware Reality: Mastering cache lines, false sharing, and the MESI protocol.
• Atomic Mechanics: Building secure Compare-And-Swap loops and applying strict acquire-release memory ordering.
• Advanced Structures: Architecting lock-free queues, open-addressing hash maps, and concurrent skip lists.
• Memory Reclamation: Stopping memory leaks with Epoch-Based Reclamation, Hazard Pointers, and Thread-Local Allocators.
• Flawless Verification: Proving your code using ThreadSanitizer, aggressive fuzzing, and execution simulation.
• Modern C++20: Flattening your asynchronous pipelines using stackless coroutines and generic compiler Concepts.

Who it's meant for

This is written for intermediate to advanced C++ developers, backend systems architects, and performance engineers. If you are building high-throughput databases, low-latency financial systems, or high-performance game engines—and you are completely tired of your CPU cores waiting for a lock—this material is specifically for you.

Stop letting the operating system dictate the speed of your software. It is time to take complete control of your hardware and eliminate the bottlenecks holding your code back. Grab your copy today, and let us start building systems that run at the absolute speed of electrons.
