Object Oriented and Multicore Programming

Book excerpt: This book covers the object oriented programming aspects using C++ programming. It focuses on developing the applications both at basic and moderate level. In this book there are number of illustrative programming examples that help the students to understand the concepts. Starting from introduction to object oriented programming, handling of control statements using C++, arrays, objects and classes, this book moves gradually towards the concept of overloading, inheritance, Exception handling, and I/O operations. In the later part of this book, concept of multicore programming is discussed. This chapter also focuses on the operating system’s role in multicore programming. Then in the next subsequent unit, the concept of processes, interface classes and predicates is discussed. Lastly, the creation and handling of threads, thread scheduling and priorities are illustrated with the help of simple and easy to understand programs. Then there is a discussion on how the communication and synchronization of concurrent tasks take place. This book doesn't just provide a collection of ready-made programs but teaching you the basics of object oriented programming through C++ and multicore programming quickly and painlessly.
