Modern C++ Concurrency: From Threads to Coroutines

Writing code that runs simultaneously on multiple CPU cores is essential for modern software, yet multithreading remains one of the most challenging aspects of software development. This text-based course demystifies concurrent programming, guiding you from basic thread creation to advanced lock-free designs using modern C++ standards. You will transition from writing single-threaded programs to designing safe, high-performance parallel applications. By reading structured explanations and analyzing clear code snippets, you will learn how to avoid common pitfalls like race conditions and deadlocks while leveraging the full power of modern hardware. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational concurrency concepts, the memory model, and thread lifecycles using modern std::jthread - Apply synchronization primitives like mutexes, locks, and condition variables to protect shared data - Master atomic operations and explore the basics of lock-free data structures - Utilize parallel algorithms and execution policies to easily speed up computations - Explore asynchronous programming paradigms, including modern coroutines and future-proof executors - Debug and test multithreaded code to identify data races and performance bottlenecks The course begins with essential terminology and basic threading primitives, gradually advancing to complex synchronization patterns and modern asynchronous features. You will consolidate your knowledge through written code analysis and conceptual exercises. This program is designed for developers who know basic C++ and want to learn concurrent programming; no prior multithreading experience is required.
