After a two-week break, attending the Intel Developers Forum and StrangeLoop, I finally had the time to record the fourth tutorial in the series. This time I’m showing how futures and promises work together to enable the passing of results back from threads. I also show how this process of calling a function asynchronously can be simplified using async. Next time I’ll talk more about async tasks and parallelism.

The third installment of the tutorial is now online. I’m talking about shared memory concurrency and races, but with a tiny dollop of theory on top. It’s all illustrated with simple examples. Enjoy!

C++11 Concurrency Tutorial
Posted by Bartosz Milewski under C++, Concurrency, Multithreading, Parallelism, Programming, Tutorial[17] Comments
I’m starting a series of hands on tutorials on concurrent programming using C++11. This first installment jumps right into “Hello Thread!” and the discussion of fork/join parallelism. I also sneaked in some lambdas and even one closure. Enjoy!
