Multithreading Using Lockless Lists and RCU
Explore advanced multithreading techniques in C++ with a focus on lockless lists and Read-Copy-Update (RCU) in this comprehensive conference talk. Gain insights into the importance and complexities of multithreading, and delve into the libGuarded library's latest version. Learn about the significance of lockless containers and RCU technology, understanding their implementation in libGuarded 2.0 and their application in preventing deadlocks in the CsSignal library. Discover the intricacies of RCU, including its working principles, grace periods, and different classes. Compare Linux and libGuarded implementations, and explore future developments in this field. Suitable for those with basic familiarity in multithreading, this presentation provides a deep dive into advanced concepts that can enhance the performance and scalability of multi-threaded network daemons and other C++ applications.
