🎓 Course Title: Part B (ADVANCED) Multithreading Design Patterns (pthreads) - Linux POSIX Threads, Thread Synchronization, Operating System Concepts, C/C++ Programming with Projects

Course Headline:

Master the Art of Concurrency: Advanced Pthreads & Multithreading Design Patterns for Linux OS 🚀

Course Description:

Welcome to the advanced level of multithreading design patterns, where we delve deep into the world of Linux POSIX Threads (Pthreads) and master the art of thread synchronization. This course is a natural progression from our popular Master Class-Multithreading & Thread Synchronization - C/C++ and is designed for those who have already grasped the basics or have prior knowledge of Mutexes and Condition Variables.

👩‍💻 What You'll Learn:

• Advanced Thread Synchronization Data Structures: Gain a deep understanding of advanced synchronization techniques that will make your concurrent applications robust and efficient.
• Multithreading Design Patterns: Discover how to implement complex software patterns that optimize parallel processing and resource sharing.
• Problem-Solving with Thread Synchronization: Tackle advanced problems using thread synchronization primitives, ensuring you can troubleshoot and solve concurrency issues.

This course is conceptual, with the knowledge you acquire being applicable to any programming language that supports multithreading, including Java, C#, Python, Go, and Kotlin. 🐍🤝💻

Prerequisites:

• Completion of Master Class-Multithreading & Thread Synchronization - C/C++ or equivalent knowledge of Mutexes and Condition Variables.

Course Level:

• Intermediate to Advanced: This course is designed for learners with some background in multithreading and programming concepts.

Table of Contents:

1. Thread Management - The foundational aspects of managing threads.
2. Pausing and Resuming Threads - Techniques to control thread execution.
3. Thread Pools/Work Crew Model - Understanding thread pools for efficient resource utilization.
4. Thread Barriers - Coordinating threads in synchronization primitives.
5. Wait-Queue Model - Managing waiting and notification of events.
6. Recursive Mutexes - When to use them over normal mutexes and how to implement them.

9. Assembly Line Model - Understanding concurrency in a production line context.
10. Deadlock Detection and Prevention - Learning to avoid and manage deadlock situations.
11. Other Related Courses on Multithreading - Designing Timers, Multi-Threaded TCP Servers, Asynchronous Programming.

UnScheduled Topics:

11. Bounded Waiting - Ensuring threads do not wait indefinitely.
12. Fifo (Strong) Semaphores - A synchronization mechanism for controlling access to resources.
13. Event Pair Synchronization - A pair of semaphores used to achieve mutually exclusive access to a common resource.
14. Inter-Process Synchronization using Semaphores - Coordinating processes and threads through semaphores.
15. Forking a Multi-Threaded Program - Techniques for creating new processes from running programs.

Course Approach:

While we primarily use the C language to demonstrate concepts, the principles learned are universally applicable to any programming language, making this course invaluable for C++ programmers and those using other languages. The hands-on coding exercises will ensure you master multithreading concepts with no abstraction, preparing you for real-world application development and interview questions. 🧵
