Описание: This book describes patterns for parallel programming, with code examples, that use the new parallel programming support in the Microsoft ® Visual C++® development system. This support is commonly referred to as the Parallel Patterns Library (PPL). There is also an example of how to use the Asynchronous Agents Library in conjunction with the PPL. You can use the patterns described in this book to improve your application’s performance on multicore computers.
Adopting the patterns in your code can make your application run faster today and also help prepare for future hardware environments, which are expected to have an increasingly parallel computing architecture.
The book is intended for programmers who write native code for the Microsoft Windows® operating system, but the portability of PPL makes this book useful for platforms other than Windows. No prior knowledge of parallel programming techniques is assumed. However, readers need to be familiar with features of the C++ environment such as templates, the Standard Template Library (STL) and lambda expressions (which are new to Visual C++ in the Microsoft Visual Studio® 2010 development system). Readers should also have at least a basic familiarity with the concepts of processes and threads of execution.
