README.md

Recently, I encountered a problem with finding easy-to-use and easy-to-understand neat atomic/lock-free/concurrent data structures and solutions to common concurrency problems using C++20.

This repository is a solution to the above-described problems:

• Atomic/Lock-free/Concurrent data-structures: stacks, queues, spinlocks;
• Performance tests of different thread-safe data structures implementations;
• ConcurrentPatterns: Multiplex, Barrier, SignalQueue, LightSwitch, ProducerConsumer, Double-checked locking;

I'm not claiming that implementations here are the most efficient ones since they are provided for educational purposes.

TODO:

• Add simulation for concurrency patterns;
• Add solutions to common concurrency problems;
• Add hazard pointers implementation;
• Add more implmentations of the concurrent data structures;

Used materials:

• C++ Concurrency in Action by Anthony Williams;
• The Little Book of Semaphores by Allen B. Downey;
• https://www.cs.rochester.edu/research/synchronization/pseudocode/queues.html;
• https://rigtorp.se/spinlock/;
• Concurrency pattern wiki;
