Explore advanced concurrency techniques in C++ through this comprehensive conference talk. Delve into building a task system using C++14 primitives, focusing on creating software that maximizes efficiency through parallelism. Learn about synchronization primitives, performance optimization, Amdahl's Law, and task stealing. Discover implementation details of a tasking system, including live dispatch, exception marshaling, and handling blocking threads. Examine the intricacies of futures, continuations, and promises, while gaining insights into potential pitfalls and best practices for concurrent programming. Enhance your understanding of modern C++ concurrency to write more efficient and responsive software.
