Lock-free Programming
Learn about lock-free programming and a simple lock-free queue implementation, which is useful for real-time audio.
We'll cover the following...
Lock-free programming is hard. We will not spend a lot of time discussing lock-free programming in this course, but instead, we will provide an example of how a very simple lock-free data structure could be implemented. Some concepts you might have heard of, such as compare-and-swap (CAS) and the ABA problem, will not be further discussed in this course.
Example: A lock-free queue
