Concurrent Programming: Algorithms, Principles, and Foundations 2013th Edition by Michel Raynal (PDF)

Description

This book is devoted to the most difficult part of concurrent programming, namely synchronization concepts, techniques and principles when the cooperating entities are asynchronous, communicate through a shared memory, and may experience failures. Synchronization is no longer a set of tricks but, due to research results in recent decades, it relies today on sane scientific foundations as explained in this book.In this book the author explains synchronization and the implementation of concurrent objects, presenting in a uniform and comprehensive way the major theoretical and practical results of the past 30 years. Among the key features of the book are a new look at lock-based synchronization (mutual exclusion, semaphores, monitors, path expressions); an introduction to the atomicity consistency criterion and its properties and a specific chapter on transactional memory; an introduction to mutex-freedom and associated progress conditions such as obstruction-freedom and wait-freedom; a presentation of Lamport’s hierarchy of safe, regular and atomic registers and associated wait-free constructions; a description of numerous wait-free constructions of concurrent objects (queues, stacks, weak counters, snapshot objects, renaming objects, etc.); a presentation of the computability power of concurrent objects including the notions of universal construction, consensus number and the associated Herlihy’s hierarchy; and a survey of failure detector-based constructions of consensus objects. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students in computer science or computer engineering, graduate students in mathematics interested in the foundations of process synchronization, and practitioners and engineers who need to produce correct concurrent software. The reader should have a basic knowledge of algorithms and operating systems.

⭐Every algorithm in this book is well explained and complete. I used this one during a parallel programming course and I use it as a reference at work too. This is one of those books you like having your hands on if you are really into parallel programming. Every important algorithm and paper in the field are properly put into context for anyone hoping to get started in the field. Thanks for writing this!

⭐Como siempre, el profesor Michel Raynal nos entrega un magnífico libro, en el que presenta de una forma metódica todo el panorama de la teoría de la programación concurrente. La presentación de la materia es muy adecuada, con gran cantidad de ejemplos, sin descuidar los aspectos formales de corrección de las soluciones planteadas. Explora todos los campos de la programación concurrente incluyendo las últimas investigaciones sobre sistemas de memoria transaccional.
