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

Javier Reguera-Salgado, Juan Antonio Rufes

Sinopsis

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.

Mechanical Engineering -...

Phil Gilberts

Mechanical technology encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and tools used in the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This field merges principles from physics, engineering, and materials science to create and improve machinery and devices that perform specific functions.
The evolution of mechanical technology is a testament to human ingenuity, marked by significant innovations that have transformed societies and industries.
In ancient times, early humans utilized basic tools such as levers, wedges, and inclined planes to aid in tasks. The invention of the wheel around 3500 BCE revolutionized transport and labor. Ancient civilizations also harnessed the power of water wheels and windmills to provide mechanical power for grinding grain and pumping water.Looking towards the future, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are being integrated into mechanical systems, leading to smarter and more adaptive technologies. There is also a growing focus on sustainability, driving the development of energy-efficient machinery and renewable energy systems. Additionally, 3D printing is transforming production processes, allowing for rapid prototyping and custom manufacturing.
The field of mechanical technology continues to evolve, driven by human creativity and the relentless pursuit of efficiency and innovation. Each historical milestone builds upon previous knowledge, propelling the field towards new and exciting advancements.

Navigating Life with Dementia

MD James M. Noble

Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is hard but with this book, you and your family will successfully face the challenges that these diseases present. 
 
Dementia is a very common neurological disease of aging affecting millions of people in complex ways. There are multiple forms of the dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and vascular dementia, among others, and many share features of slowly progressive and profound changes affecting memory, thinking, behavior, and personality. The disease often introduces personal and even financial strains, which can be at times hard to understand. Unfortunately, most forms of dementia have no definitive treatments to prevent, slow, or stop the progression, but there is a concerted effort in the scientific community to change this. There is a consistent hope that there will soon be a new era of scientific breakthroughs impacting dementia. Now, and in the future, patients with dementia, their friends, and their families need resources to successfully face the challenges introduced by the disease.Navigating Life with Dementia thoroughly covers the complexities of the dementias, the establishment of a diagnosis, what to expect throughout the stages of disease, and how to best anticipate and manage common problems.
