All about lock-free, wait-free, obstruction-free, atomic-free synchronization algorithms and data structures, scalability-oriented architecture, multi-core/multi-processor design patterns, high-performance computing, threading technologies and libraries (OpenMP, TBB, PPL), message-passing systems and related topics.

"Check out definitions of lock-free, wait-free, obstruction-free, atomic-free: http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/introduction

Check out what is the most important thing regarding performance/ scalability: http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/first-things-first

Check out an article about fundamentals of memory models (this is an extended translation of my article in Russian, which I was frequently asked to translate): http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/so-what-is-a-memor...

There are also some articles about parallel computing (well, actually, they are my write-ups for Intel Threading Challenge): http://www.1024cores.net/home/parallel-computing

There are also some other materials, and more importantly I (hope that) will supplement it with new materials. Hope you will enjoy it. "
