Low-level Concurrency in Practice. This practical book helps Rust programmers of all levels gain a clear understanding of low-level concurrency. You'll learn everything about atomics and …

You’ll learn everything about atomics and memory ordering and how they're combined with basic operating system APIs to build common primitives like mutexes and condition variables. Once you’re done, you’ll have a firm grasp of how Rust’s memory model, the processor, and the role of the operating system all fit together. How Rust's type system works exceptionally well for programming concurrency correctly All about mutexes, condition variables, atomics, and memory ordering What happens in practice with atomic operations on Intel and ARM processors How locks are implemented with support from the operating system How to write correct code that includes concurrency, atomics, and locks How to build your own locking and synchronization primitives correctly
