Task Synchronization in Asynchronous Programming

This chapter explores the mechanics of task synchronization within asynchronous programming, focusing on the role of 'wakers' in managing task readiness. It highlights the challenges of CPU utilization, contention, and efficient task management using data structures like intrusive doubly linked lists. The discussion emphasizes advancements in lock-free algorithms and innovative components that enhance the handling of asynchronous tasks in multi-threaded environments.
