The art of multiprocessor programming

A modern multiprocessing machine programming manual - a dynamically developing field of modern information technology. Currently, manufacturers of integrated circuits are giving up attempts to speed up processors and are focusing on multi-core architectures. Calculations on multiprocessor integrated circuits are more efficient thanks to concurrency? using multiple processors to perform one task. The art of programming these systems requires the understanding of new computing principles, algorithms and programming tools.

The publication presents the key issues needed for effective multiprocessing:

• Principles of concurrent programming.
• Basics of programming systems with shared memory.
• Architecture of multiprocessor machines.
• Review of concurrent data structures and key elements of their construction.
• A full presentation of synchronization techniques? from simple locks to the latest transactional memory systems.
• Working examples in Java using the Java Concurrency Package.
• Basic concepts of programming in C # and C and C ++ with the Pthreads library
