Asynchronous Programming with C++ - Build blazing-fast software with multithreading and asynchronous programming for ultimate efficiency

Javier Reguera-Salgado, Juan Antonio Rufes

Summary

As hardware advancements continue to accelerate, bringing greater memory capacity and more CPU cores, software must evolve to adapt to efficiently use all available resources and reduce idle CPU cycles. In this book, two seasoned software engineers with about five decades of combined experience will teach you how to implement concurrent and asynchronous solutions in C++.
You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of parallel programming paradigms—covering concurrent, asynchronous, parallel, multithreading, reactive, and event-driven programming, as well as dataflows—and see how threads, processes, and services are related. Moving into the heart of concurrency, the authors will guide you in creating and managing threads and exploring C++’s thread-safety mechanisms, including mutual exclusion, atomic operations, semaphores, condition variables, latches, and barriers. With this solid foundation, you’ll focus on pure asynchronous programming, discovering futures, promises, the async function, and coroutines. The book takes you step by step through using Boost.Asio and Boost.Cobalt to develop network and low-level I/O solutions, proven performance and optimization techniques, and testing and debugging asynchronous software.
By the end of this C++ book, you’ll be able to implement high-performance software using modern asynchronous C++ techniques.

This prevalence has been is increasing for the past 10 years. In an effort to decrease the prevalence over the next 10 years, the author shares this book with both parents and medical teams who care for a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The author, Dr Sajani J Sukhadia, is a board certified Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician. In One in 36: A Full Spectrum Approach to Autism, Dr Sukhadia conveys clear evidence-based treatments for children with Autism. What is evidence-based? Evidence-based is applying up-to-date and current scientific information in medical practice. Additionally, in every chapter, Dr Sukhadia shares ancient practices from India which she has seen complement each of the evidence-based therapies offered by modern science. The material can be useful to individuals of all countries and offers hope for more children with Autism to outgrow their diagnosis. Advice to listeners: Make slow and steady changes in life. Slow and steady is the right method here. Slow and steady will help keep up everyone’s energy level to help the child get on the right developmental trajectory. Very best wishes to parents and medical teams on this journey. (Please note: A PDF attachment accompanies this audiobook containing references of scientific articles and Yoga illustrations.

Are You Living in a Simulation?

Juliane Hayes

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Investigate the increasingly credible hypothesis that your entire experienced reality is a sophisticated computer simulation rather than base physical existence. This provocative audiobook examines the scientific and philosophical arguments supporting simulation theory that have converted skeptics across academic disciplines. Learn the statistical reasoning suggesting that if civilizations can create realistic simulations, we are almost certainly inside one rather than being the original creators. The narrator presents the simulation argument developed by philosopher Nick Bostrom and subsequent refinements by physicists, computer scientists, and probability theorists. Discover the strange features of our universe that seem more consistent with simulation than physical law, from quantum observer effects to mathematical elegance to cosmological fine-tuning. Understand what purpose such simulations might serve and what it would mean for concepts like free will, morality, and death if simulation theory is correct. This audiobook explores how simulation hypothesis relates to religious traditions positing that visible reality is illusion masking deeper truth. Learn why Elon Musk claims we have one in billions chance of existing in base reality and how other technologists reached similar conclusions. Perfect for anyone fascinated by existential questions and willing to consider radical possibilities about the nature of existence that mainstream culture dismisses but serious thinkers increasingly accept.

Where You'll Find Me - Risk...

Ty Gagne

On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
 
 
 
At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
 
 
 
What went wrong? 
 
 
 
Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.
