C++ Multithreading


Who should attend?

Software developers, software architects.

Pre-requisites:

A good working knowledge of C++98 (including templates). Knowledge of C++11 features is beneficial but not a requirement for this course. Please refer to the course "Modern C++" for the other features of the C++11/C++14/C++17/C++20 language standards.

Duration:

3 days   ( including practical exercises )

Course Description:

Since the introduction of the C++11 language standard, multithreading and multicore applications can be developed in a platform-independent manner directly in C++. This training shows the C++ multithreading features introduced by C++11, C++14 and C++17 and explains how they can be used. Due to the rapid growth of the number of multicore systems this training is valuable especially for software developers who want to speedup their applications by exploiting the power of multiple cores.
