  1. C++ Concurrency in Action on Good Books On Programming With Threads? · · Score: 1

    While TBB give you one option to write C++ code in OO style, Boost.Thread and the upcoming new standard provide a similar API. Although not yet available entirely, this book looks promising to me:

    http://www.manning.com/williams/

    What's inside:
    * When and when not to use concurrency
    * Concurrency and multi-threading in C++
    * Concurrency support in the New Standard
    * How to improve performance with concurrency
    * How to manage concurrency
    * Problems and solutions in sharing data
    * Synchronization and why we need it
    * Memory model details

    Description (from the website):
    With the new C++ Standard and Technical Report 2 (TR2), multi-threading is coming to C++ in a big way. There is a new memory model with support for multiple threads, along with a new multi-threading support library featuring low-level atomic operations, as well as basic thread launching and synchronization facilities. TR2 will provide higher-level synchronization facilities that allow for a much greater level of abstraction, and make programming multi-threaded applications simpler and safer.

    C++ Concurrency in Action is the first book to show you how to take advantage of the new C++ Standard and TR2 to write robust multi-threaded applications in C++.
