It is hard to believe, that earlier Linux kernels did not support threads. At the time, it was the definitive work on the POSIX thread API, and multi-threaded programming in general. Java's synchronize, wait and notify always baffled me. Some of the existing approaches to parallelization include using Windows and POSIX thread APIs, using MPI, and using the OpenMP shared memory threaded programming model. Creating And Destroying Threads Synchronizing Threads With Mutexes What Is A Mutex? POSIX Threads is a widely supported standard, but has become more widely used due to the growth of the use of Embedded Linux. Multi-Threaded Programming With POSIX Threads Table Of Contents: Before We Start What Is a Thread? David Butenhof's Programming with POSIX Threads was published 10 years ago, in 1997. I learned thread programming with POSIX thread or pthread while I was C/C++ programmer long time ago. Finally Microsoft Window's common programming API, Win32 is examined. To learn the fundamentals on POSIX Threads Programming, I will recommend you to go to following links. The pthread is build on notion like Mutex ,Conditions Variable. Instead, all the "threading" was performed entirely in user space by a pthread (POSIX thread) library chosen for specific program.
