CHAPTER 5
Concurrent Data Structures
In the previous chapter we introduced the need to consider thread safety when sharing state across multiple threads. The techniques demonstrated required the developer to understand the possible race conditions and select the cheapest synchronization technique to satisfy thread safety. These techniques, while essential, can often become tedious and make the simplest of algorithms seemingly overly complicated and hard to maintain. This chapter will explore the use of built-in concurrent data structures shipped with TPL that will simplify our multithreaded code while maximizing concurrency and efficiency.
