New Skill Forged: The Art of Multiprocessor Programming

New Skill Forged

The Art of Multiprocessor Programming by Maurice Herlihy & Nir Shavit. 530 pages.

The definitive textbook on concurrent programming theory — linearizability, mutual exclusion algorithms, lock-free data structures, hardware primitives, and transactional memory. Combines rigorous theory with practical Java implementations.

What this skill teaches Claude to do:

• Classify algorithm correctness using linearizability vs sequential consistency
• Identify progress guarantees: wait-free, lock-free, obstruction-free, deadlock-free, starvation-free
• Implement Peterson, Filter, and Bakery locks from first principles
• …and 7 more
