Review
“…an excellent work on concurrent programming, examining languages and libraries for developing multithreaded programs.” (CHOICE, April 2006)
Product Description
Master the essentials of concurrent programming,including testing and debugging
This textbook examines languages and libraries for multithreadedprogramming. Readers learn how to create threads in Java and C++, anddevelop essential concurrent programming and problem-solving skills.Moreover, the textbook sets itself apart from other comparable works byhelping readers to become proficient in key testing and debuggingtechniques. Among the topics covered, readers are introduced to therelevant aspects of Java, the POSIX Pthreads library, and the WindowsWin32 Applications Programming Interface.
The authors have developed and fine-tuned this book through theconcurrent programming courses they have taught for the past twentyyears. The material, which emphasizes practical tools and techniques tosolve concurrent programming problems, includes original results fromthe authors’ research. Chapters include:
* Introduction to concurrent programming
* The critical section problem
* Semaphores and locks
* Monitors
* Message-passing
* Message-passing in distributed programs
* Testing and debugging concurrent programs
As an aid to both students and instructors, class libraries havebeen implemented to provide working examples of all the material thatis covered. These libraries and the testing techniques they support canbe used to assess student-written programs.
Each chapter includes exercises that build skills in program writingand help ensure that readers have mastered the chapter’s key concepts.The source code for all the listings in the text and for thesynchronization libraries is also provided, as well as startup filesand test cases for the exercises.
This textbook is designed for upper-level undergraduates andgraduate students in computer science. With its abundance of practicalmaterial and inclusion of working code, coupled with an emphasis ontesting and debugging, it is also a highly useful reference forpracticing programmers.
