<br/><br/>Principles. Mutual exclusion -- Concurrent objects -- Foundations of shared memory -- The relative power of primitive synchronization operations -- Universality of consensusPractice -- Spin locks and contention -- Monitors and blocking synchronization -- Linked lists -- the role of locking -- Concurrent queues and the ABA problem -- Concurrent stacks and elimination -- Counting, sorting, and distributed coordination -- Concurrent hashing and natural parallelism -- Skip lists and balanced search -- Priority queues -- Futures, scheduling, and work distribution -- Barriers -- Transactional memory.  
<br/><br/> Multiprocessor programming, also known as multicore programming, requires new principles, algorithms, and programming tools. This book provides a comprehensive presentation of the principles and tools available for programming multiprocessor machines. It will be of immediate use to programmers working with the new architectures.
