This book will show you how to write robust multithreaded applications in. Writes by a single processor are observed in the same order by all processors.

The art of concurrency is one of the few resources to focus on implementing algorithms in the sharedmemory model of multicore processors, rather than just theoretical models or distributedmemory architectures. If indices are available on join attributes of both r and s, use the relation with fewer tuples as the outer relation. Individual processors use the same ordering principles as in a singleprocessor system.
