(GCpp) Lock-Free Programming and Concurrent Data Structures on Modern Hardware
Details
In this session, Fedor Pikus, will share his current views on lock-free programming and the design of concurrent data structures, grounded in extensive research on performance behavior on modern CPUs. The talk will explore practical trade-offs between lock-based and lock-free approaches, memory ordering considerations in C++, and how hardware realities such as cache hierarchies and contention shape real-world scalability. The format will be interactive, with discussion and questions encouraged throughout. Attendees should be familiar with the basics of C++ concurrency.
