With multithreaded applications, there are situations where it is unavoidable or desirable to wait for other threads. Implementing such wait instruction sequences correctly is important for both ...

In the prior two articles in this series (What Is SMP Without Shared Memory? and The Essentials Of Multiprocessor Programming), we have gone through the theory behind programming multi-threaded ...

Learn the core concepts of thread synchronization used to build multi-threaded .NET applications that enforce thread safety and avoid deadlocks. The C# programming language has provided support for ...

Asynchronous services are easier to implement with support of the await and async keywords in WCF 4.5. We look at that, as well as contract-first development. There are performance benefits to using ...

Threads can provide concurrency, even if they're not truly parallel. In my last article, I took a short tour through the ways you can add concurrency to your programs. In this article, I focus on one ...

With the increasingly complexity of concurrent applications, many developers find that Java’s low-level threading capabilities are insufficient to their programming needs. In that case, it might be ...

Nowadays, high-performance server software (for example, the HTTP accelerator) in most cases runs on multicore machines. Modern hardware could provide 32, 64 or more CPU cores. In such highly ...
