Programming with POSIX threads David R. Butenhof
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

GO Programming with POSIX threads. Instead, all the "threading" was performed entirely in user space by a pthread (POSIX thread) library chosen for specific program. Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Page Count: 398. Language: English Released: 1997. Implementations that adhere to this standard are referred to as POSIX threads, or Pthreads. Link to slide presentation from Posix Threads talk. For UNIX systems, a standardized C language threads programming interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard. In shared memory multiprocessor architectures, such as SMPs, threads can be used to implement parallelism. OpenMP was developed because native operating system threads (often referred to as POSIX threads or Pthreads) programing can be cumbersome. Note to mods: this is not a C programming problem. The purpose of this article is to provide a good foundation of the basics of threaded programming using POSIX threads and is not meant to be a complete source for thread programming. Fwd: Next week: An Introduction to POSIX Threads Programming by Kevin Dankwardt. Today, I will write this post for my own reference using the POSIX threads and how to have the best usage of joins and mutex implementation. Grand Central Dispatch, or GCD, is a technology designed to let programmers easily harness the power of multi-core processors. It probably belongs in a unix programming forum (although posix threads are more widely available than unix, that is where they are used most often). It is hard to believe, that earlier Linux kernels did not support threads.
