Learning Path: C++: High Performance applications with C++

Multithreading is an ability of a platform or an application to create a process that consists of multiple threads of execution. Multithreading is used when the parallel execution of some tasks edges to a more productive use of resources of the system. Multithreaded applications execute multiple threads in a single processor environment, allowing developers to achieve concurrency. Multithreading with C++ has diverse benefits as C++ being an intermediate level language and comprises a confirmation of both high level and low level language features. If you’re interested to master multithreading and concurrent processing with C++, then go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

The highlights of this Learning Path are:

• Learn to use tools such as Val grind to analyze the multithreaded performance of an application
• Explore an advanced multithreading implementation using C++ 14’s native threading API
• Learn how multithreading can be done across multiple systems
  

Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey…

This step-by-step guide will get you started with examples that will help you become a master at writing robust concurrent and parallel applications in C++.

To get started, this Learning Path gives you a brief introduction to the fundamentals of multithreading and concurrency concepts. The comprehensive coverage of essential multithreading concepts will help you code and apply efficiently multithreading concepts while coding in C++.

Moving on, you’ll learn the finer points of multithreading and concurrency concepts and how to apply them efficiently in C++. After this, you’ll take an in-depth look at how these concepts work at the hardware-level as well as how both operating systems and frameworks use these low-level functions. Finally, you’ll learn about the native multithreading and concurrency support available in C++ like synchronization, and communication between threads. After completing this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the concepts required to be a functional programmer and write functional web-apps using modern JavaScript.

After the completion of this Learning Path, you’ll have mastered multithreading and concurrent processing with C++ as well as write robust, concurrent and parallel applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
