Master Class – Multithreading & Thread Synchronization in C

Description

Welcome to the Course Series on Multi-Threading – The Master Class Course on Threads.

  [ ** STILL ADDING CONTENT TO IT, LAST UPDATED 09 JAN 2020 ** ]

This course is for those who want to develop fundamental concepts on Multi-threading and related concepts. In this course, we shall be going to cover Multi-threading concepts based on Pthreads (POSIX threads) on the Linux platform.

We shall discuss several concepts involved in multithreading and demonstrate each concept through a sample program. Several Important Concepts include but not limited to – Deadlocks, Mutual Exclusion, Atomicity, Thread Synchronization, Race Conditions, Thread forking, and many more.

In the Next Installment of this course, we shall extend our knowledge of Multi-threading to Advance Concepts which also include mini-projects on Multithreading and Thread Synchronization.

At each stage of this Course series, you shall be writing a lot of multi-threaded Codes. So be ready to Master the Multi-threading. Along the journey, we shall cover several interview-favorite topics and Questions to prepare you alongside for interviews.

Best of luck!

2. Thread Pools

Then We enter into Thread Synchronization Topics :

3. Mutexes and their internal implementation

4, Condition Variables

5. Lock Size

6. Deadlocks

7. Standard Problems – Reader/Writer Problem, Dining Philosopher problem etc

8. Implementing Master-Slave Relationship between threads

9. Implementing Thread Scheduler

10. Implementing Thread Monitors

11. Semaphore based Synchronization

12. Deadlock Detection and Prevention

13. Asynchronous Programming using Threads (Say Good bye to Locking)

14. Implement Timers using Threads

15. How to fork a multi-threaded process

So you can see, some really amazing stuff is yet to come.

Depending on the content size, I may split the content into two parts – Course A & Course B. Don’t worry, whoever enrolls in part A will be given free entry in Part-B.

Happy Learning.
