Thread-local Storage
Explore thread-local storage to understand how each thread maintains its own copy of data, enabling safer and more efficient parallel processing. This lesson helps you convert single-threaded tasks into multithreaded operations by using thread-local storage, enhancing concurrency and runtime performance.

Thread-local storage refers to the data that are specific to the thread. The data will seem like global static storage, but in essence, each copy will be created for each thread at the time of thread creation.
Essentially, thread-local storage enables a global state within a thread.
Typical use cases
Here are the three common use cases where we could use thread-local storage:
- Porting a single
