MUC++

We have the honor to welcome Anthony Williams, esteemed author of "C++ Concurrency in Action" at our Meetup. We apologize for the short notice but hope that many of you will nonetheless join us for an evening of marvelous multithreading mayhem. Abstract: As the number of cores in our machines increases, scalability is no longer just a concern for HPC developers, but something everyone writing multithreaded code needs to think about. If you don’t think about scalability, then adding more cores might hurt rather than help. In this presentation we will look at the issues that prevent multithreaded code from being scalable, and how to address those issues, both from a design perspective, and also with regard to the tools available in the C++ toolkit to help us. Speaker Bio: Anthony Williams is the author of C++ Concurrency in Action, and a UK-based developer, consultant and trainer with over 20 years of experience in C++. He has been an active member of the BSI C++ Standards Panel since 2001, and is author or coauthor of many of the C++ Standards Committee papers that led up to the inclusion of the thread library in the C++11 Standard. He continues to work on new facilities to enhance the C++ concurrency toolkit, both with standards proposals, and implementations of those facilities for the just::thread Pro extensions to the C++ thread library from Just Software Solutions Ltd. Anthony lives in the far west of Cornwall, England.
