These class notes
give a course outline that is conducted in-depth on concurrent programming. They
include the basic concepts of parallel programming, multi-processing, and
multi-threading. Threads' definitions and properties are presented, such as
lifecycle processes and the structure of concurrent hardware architecture. The
basic algorithms form the foundation, including Kessel's and ticket algorithms,
with semantic and the bakery algorithm as the key synchronization tools. Another
topic that the material will be discussing about concurrency issues is deadlock
and speculative multithreading. This book is a resource on getting an
easy-to-access introduction to concurrent programming principles; it is
excellent for student and professional readers who want to learn about how to
effectively manage concurrent processes in software applications.

This web resource is a comprehensive tutorial
on concurrent and distributed programming with all basics illustrated with
practical examples. It starts with an overview of concurrency, illustrating
critical principles with simple programming examples. Notes provide overviews of
several programming languages-including C, C++, Java, Ada, and Perl-showing how
each approaches concurrency. It encompasses mutual exclusion, message passing,
and both the standard and an enhanced version of the classic Dining Philosophers
problem. It also touches on threading in Java and Ada as well as introduces the
POSIX threads library (pthreads) for C programs. This book is perfect for
students and practitioners who need to know the underpinning of concurrent
programming in different environments.
