The C++ language has had built-in support for managing and executing concurrent threads since C++11. But it doesn’t have any native support for managing concurrent processes. The C++ Standard Library provides various classes for thread management, synchronization and communication between threads, protection of shared data, atomic operations, and parallel algorithms. The C++ memory model is also designed with thread awareness in mind. This makes it a great choice for developing concurrent applications.

Multithreading with C++ is the ability to have multiple threads of execution running concurrently within a single program. This allows a program to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and perform tasks in parallel, leading to faster completion of tasks and improved overall performance.
