Concurrency Basics: Threads and Synchronization

This lecture covers the basics of concurrency, focusing on threads and synchronization. Threads allow for concurrent execution, enhancing responsiveness and performance. Synchronization ensures proper communication among threads through shared memory. The concept of thread joining is explained, allowing one thread to wait for another to finish. The lecture also addresses the challenges of non-deterministic execution in concurrent programming and the need for ordering to ensure program correctness.
