Low-level Concurrency in Practice. This practical book helps Rust programmers of all levels gain a clear understanding of low-level concurrency. You'll learn everything about atomics and memory ordering and how they're combined with basic operating system APIs to build common primitives like mutexes and condition variables. Once you're done, you'll have a firm grasp of how Rust's memory model, the processor, and the role of the operating system all fit together.

The Rust programming language excels in concurrency but implementing concurrent data structures can be challenging. Mara Bos, team lead of the Rust library team, provides a practical guide to understanding low-level concurrency. You will learn about atomics, memory ordering, mutexes, condition variables, and their implementation using operating system APIs. The book also covers the nuances of atomic operations on different processors and helps you build your own locking and synchronization primitives.
