Complete Guide to Parallel and Concurrent Programming with C++

Parallel programming unlocks a program’s ability to execute multiple instructions simultaneously, increases the overall processing throughput, and is key to writing faster and more efficient applications. In this course, join instructors Barron and Olivia Chiu Stone as they introduce the basics of parallel and concurrent programming in C++, providing the foundational knowledge you need to write more efficient, performant code. Barron and Olivia explain concepts like threading and mutual exclusion in a fun and informative way, relating them to everyday activities you perform in the kitchen. To cement the ideas, they demo them in action using C++. Each lesson is short and practical, driving home the theory with hands-on techniques. By the end of this course, you'll be prepared to analyze the performance impact of parallel and concurrent programming techniques, evaluating the trade-offs and applying the appropriate programming patterns to optimize the throughput and efficiency of their C++ applications.
