Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual C++

Design Patterns for Decomposition and Coordination on Multicore Architectures
Colin Campbell and Ade Miller. Forewords by Tony Hey and Herb Sutter

Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual C++ A book that introduces C++ programmers to patterns for including parallelism in their applications. Examples of these patterns are parallel loops, parallel tasks and data aggregation with map-reduce. Each pattern has its own chapter. Each chapter includes a description of the problem, an example of where the pattern is applicable, and code that implements the solution. On this site you will find; the accompanying code samples as well as answers to the end of chapter questions.
 
System Requirements

You will need Visual C++ and at least Visual C++ 2010 Express to run the samples. However, you will need Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate  to use some the parallel diagnostic tools such as the Concurrency Visualizer.
