Multithreading #3

Open rNoz opened 6 years ago

rNoz commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I am enjoying your book, and I would like to see more in the section C++ compared with Rust (how Rust helps).

Can you elaborate on multithreading (pthreads and std::thread) and OpenMP? I think Rust lacks support for OpenMP, and that's the main reason why I didn't move to Rust. Parallelism is important for me.

Also, Null pointers sections is with a TODO. Are you still working in the section?

Hi

I haven't added much to my book recently but in response to your email I've added some additional sections about multi-threading and Rust. It's not done yet but I hope it is some way to providing assistance. Mostly I've covered some general theory and C++. Despite having used multithreaded C++ I've never used OpenMP so I am just going to link out to their own site for now. I hope to add some detail on Rust about threading shortly.

Many thanks

Adam

Thank you very much. Your work could convince me to try again Rust :P I have seen that people use rayon to do multithreading, but it will be great to know how to deal without external crates, to know the basic API/workflow in Rust like what we do in C++ with std (thread, mutex and cond_var). Thanks in advance.
