The v2022.09.25a release of Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? is now available! The double-column version is also available from arXiv.org.
This version boasts an expanded index and API index, and also adds a number of improvements, perhaps most notably boldface for the most pertinent pages for a given index entry, courtesy of Akira Yokosawa. Akira also further improved the new ebook-friendly PDFs, expanded the list of acronyms, updated the build system to allow different perfbook formats to be built concurrently, adjusted for Ghostscript changes, carried out per-Linux-version updates, and did a great deal of formatting and other cleanup.
One of the code samples now use C11 thread-local storage instead of the GCC __thread storage class, courtesy of Elad Lahav. Elad also added support for building code samples on QNX.
Johann Klähn, SeongJae Park, Xuwei Fu, and Zhouyi Zhou provided many welcome fixes throughout the book.
This release also includes a number of updates to RCU, memory ordering, locking, and non-blocking synchronization, as well as additional information on the combined use of synchronization mechanisms.
