Concurrency and Multithreading with C++11 for Thread Management & Data Sharing Between Threads

The current investigation aimed to understand primary factors motivating adoption of concurrency and multithreading capabilities by hedge funds, investment banks and trading desks and future trajectory of such implementations. Primary focus was on examining if the C++11 Standard represents a plausible basis for standardization among above institutions for concurrency and multithreading needs. Technical focus was on understanding how C++11 addresses concurrency and multithreading challenges as known in prior C++ standards and alternatives. Specific investigation, development, and demonstrations focused on two key aspects of concurrency and multithreading: thread management capabilities and protected thread data sharing capabilities. In each of the two categories, more than a dozen key technical issues representing most relevant concurrency and multithreading capabilities were analyzed. Based upon the analysis, it was concluded that the C++11 Standard represents a viable future trajectory of technical standardization and development of concurrency and multithreading for hedge funds, investment banks and trading desks. It was also recognized that greater technical sophistication does not lessen the need for programming discipline: rather it becomes even more critical in ensuring simplicity and transparency of technical design.
