Thread Local Volume Accumulator

Easy · concurrency · Quant Developer interview question · concurrency, c++17, thread_local

Aggregating trade volumes from multiple execution streams requires low-latency synchronization to prevent performance bottlenecks caused by lock contention. Thread Local Storage (TLS) provides a mechanism to maintain state unique to each thread, allowing for lock-free accumulation of data in concurrent environments. This pattern is essential for maximizing throughput in multi-threaded financial applications where global locking is prohibitively expensive. Task Implement the VolumeAccumulator cl
