Paul E. Mc Kenney: Parallel Programming: June 2023 Update
The v2023.06.11a release of Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? is now available! The double-column version is also available from arXiv.org.
This release contains a new section on thermal throttling (along with a new cartoon), improvements to the memory-ordering chapter (including intuitive subsets of the Linux-kernel memory model), fixes to the deferred-processing chapter, additional clocksource-deviation material to the "What Time Is It?" section, and numerous fixes inspired by questions and comments from readers. Discussions with Yariv Aridor were especially fruitful. Akira Yokosawa contributed some quick quizzes and other upgrades of the technical discussions, along with a great many improvements to grammar, glossaries, epigraphs, and the build system. Leonardo Bras also provided some much-appreciated build-system improvements, and also started up continuous integration for some of the code samples.

Niko Matsakis: Higher-ranked projections (send bound problem, part 4)
I recently posted a draft of an RFC about Return Type Notation to the async working group Zulip stream. In response, Josh Triplett reached out to me to raise some concerns. Talking to him gave rise to a 3rd idea for how to resolve the send bound problem. I still prefer RTN, but I think this idea is interesting and worth elaborating. I call it higher-ranked projections.
