Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

You cannot configure the atomicity of an atomic data type, but you can accurately adjust the synchronization and ordering constraints of atomic operations. This is a possibility unique to C++, and it is not possible in C#'s or Java’s memory model.

There are six variations of the memory model in C++. So, what are the characteristics of these model variations?


## The six variants of the C++ memory model 

We already know that C++ has six variants of the memory models. The default for atomic operations is `std::memory_order_seq_cst`. This expression stands for ***sequential consistency***. Additionally, you can explicitly specify one of the other five variants. So, what does this technique of C++ have to offer?
