Atomics And Concurrency
Explores atomic operations and memory ordering in C++ for concurrent programming. Covers the three main memory ordering models (relaxed, release-acquire, sequential consistency) and explains how they prevent data races without using mutexes. Demonstrates concepts through practical examples including a basic lock-free queue implementation using atomic operations and compare-and-swap. Discusses hardware considerations for different processor architectures (x86 vs ARM) and their impact on performance.
