**1. Asynchronous File Reading**

```cpp
#include <future>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::ifstream file("input.txt");
    std::future<std::string> file_contents = std::async(
        [] (std::ifstream& file) {
            return std::string((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(file)),
                std::istreambuf_iterator<char>());
        },
        std::ref(file));

    // Do other work while file is being read asynchronously.

    std::cout << file_contents.get() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
```

```cpp
#include <future>
#include <vector>
#include <numeric>

std::vector<std::vector<int>> multiply(const std::vector<std::vector<int>>& a, const std::vector<std::vector<int>>& b) {
    const int num_threads = std::thread::hardware_concurrency();
    const int row_count = a.size();
    const int col_count = b[0].size();
    std::vector<std::vector<int>> result(row_count, std::vector<int>(col_count));

    std::vector<std::future<void>> tasks;
    for (int i = 0; i < row_count; ++i) {
        for (int j = 0; j < col_count; ++j) {
            tasks.emplace_back(std::async(std::launch::async, [&](int i, int j) {
                result[i][j] = std::inner_product(a[i].begin(), a[i].end(), b[j].begin(), 0);
            }, i, j));
        }
    }

    for (auto& task : tasks) {

        while (true) {
            std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m);
            cv.wait(lock, [&]{ return tasks.empty() || running < max_concurrency; });
            if (tasks.empty()) {
                break;
            }
            std::packaged_task<void()> task = std::move(tasks.front());
            tasks.pop();

            --running;
            cv.notify_one();
        }
    });

    std::thread consumer([&]{
        std::packaged_task<void()> task;
        while (true) {
            {
                std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m);
                cv.wait(lock, [&]{ return !tasks.empty(); });
                if (tasks.empty()) {
                    break;

                task = std::move(tasks.front());
                tasks.pop();
            }
            task();
        }
    });

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
        tasks.emplace(std::bind(std::forward<F>(func), args...));
        cv.notify_one();
    }

    cv.notify_all();
    producer.join();
    consumer.join();
}

    try {
        std::cout << result.get() << std::endl;
    }
    catch (const std::exception& e) {
        std::cout << "Error: " << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
```

    std::future<bool> result = std::async([&num_retries, &timeout] {
        bool success = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < num_retries; ++i) {
            // Try to perform the operation.
            if (/* ... */) {
                success = true;
                break;
            }
            std::this_thread::sleep_for(timeout);
        }

    }

    int total = 0;
    for (auto& result : results) {

    QLabel label("Loading...");
    label.show();

    std::future<void> result = std::async([](&label) {
        // Perform a long-running operation.
        std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(5));

        // Update the UI from the main thread.

    std::future<void> result = std::async([&socket, &endpoint] {
        socket.connect(endpoint);
        // Send and receive data.
