Concurrency Runtime

The Concurrency Runtime for C++ helps you write robust, scalable, and responsive parallel applications. It raises the level of abstraction so that you do not have to manage the infrastructure details that are related to concurrency. You can also use it to specify scheduling policies that meet the quality of service demands of your applications. Use these resources to help you start working with the Concurrency Runtime.

For reference documentation, see Reference.

Tip

The Concurrency Runtime relies heavily on C++11 features and adopts the more modern C++ style. To learn more, read Welcome Back to C++.

Tuning Performance

Article Description
Parallel Diagnostic Tools Teaches you how to fine-tune your applications and make the most effective use of the Concurrency Runtime.
Scheduler Instances

How to: Manage a Scheduler Instance

Scheduler Policies

How to: Specify Specific Scheduler Policies

How to: Create Agents that Use Specific Scheduler Policies
Shows how to work with manage scheduler instances and scheduler policies. For desktop apps, scheduler policies enable you to associate specific rules with specific types of workloads. For example, you can create one scheduler instance to run some tasks at an elevated thread priority and use the default scheduler to run other tasks at the normal thread priority.
Schedule Groups
