ACCU 2023: presentation and free books

Friday, 14 April 2023

The ACCU 2023 conference is next week, running from 19th-22nd April 2023, in Bristol, UK.

My presentation

This year I will be presenting "Designing for concurrency using message passing" on 22nd April. The abstract is:

One common way to design concurrent code with less potential for synchronization and other concurrency errors is to use message passing. In this talk, I will walk through the design of some example code, showing how to build such a system in practice

This talk will include a brief description of what message passing frameworks are, and how they can help avoid concurrency errors.

I will then work through some examples, showing how the tasks are divided between the elements, and how the system can therefore utilise concurrency, while insulating the application code from the details of synchronization.

Free books
