Learn about the C++ memory model for porting applications to Arm

About this Learning Path

Who is this for?

This is an advanced topic for C++ developers porting applications from x86 to Arm and optimizing performance.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this learning path, you will be able to:

• Describe at a high level what a memory model does, and the types of memory ordering.
• Describe the differences between the Arm and x86 memory model.
• Employ best practices for writing C++ on Arm to avoid race conditions.

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

• Access to an x86 and an Arm cloud instance (virtual machine).
• Proficiency in C++ programming.
