About:
Async++ is a lightweight concurrency framework for C++11. It provides high-level abstractions for parallel and asynchronous programming, including task-based parallelism and continuation-style APIs. The library simplifies complex synchronization logic and improves code readability compared to raw threads and promises.
Key Features:
  • Task-based parallelism with future/promise model
  • Lightweight scheduler with work-stealing algorithm
  • Composable async operations and continuations
  • C++11 standard library compatible
Use Cases:
  • Parallelizing CPU-intensive algorithms in C++ applications
  • Building asynchronous data processing pipelines
  • Managing complex dependency chains in concurrent code
Alternatives:
  • Intel TBB – TBB offers a broader set of algorithms and containers but is a heavier dependency.
  • Boost.Asio – Asio focuses on asynchronous I/O and networking, while Async++ targets task-based parallelism.
