More Details about Intermediate and Advanced Content:
This intermediate-level content covers advanced concurrency and memory models in C++, focusing on writing high-performance concurrent programs. Students will explore the C++ memory model, including Sequential Consistency-Data Race Free (SC-DRF) guarantees, memory barriers, and atomics. The material delves into efficient synchronization mechanisms, lock-free and wait-free algorithms, and techniques for avoiding performance pitfalls like false sharing in caches.
The modules emphasize the practical implementation of concurrent data structures using modern C++20 features, including parallel algorithms, atomic operations, and enhanced memory models. Students will learn to design and implement thread-safe data structures like queues, stacks, hash tables, and trees, while mastering essential performance analysis tools such as perf, Valgrind, Intel Vtune, Google Orbit, and gdb. This content is particularly suited for experienced C++ developers looking to enhance their concurrent programming skills and create scalable applications for multi-core systems.
Note: While accessible to beginners, this course rewards dedicated learners ready to master professional C++ development.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner programmers and students seeking starting point for learning modern C++ from software development perspective.
- Experienced programmers seeking a quick refresher to catch up with Modern C++ upto C++20
