POSIX threads, based on the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c-1995 (also called the ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996) standard, are most common on Unix and Unix-like systems. POSIX is an acronym for: Portable Operating System Interface for UniX. Much like TRON, POSIX is not a body of computer code that is compiled and run on some processor. Rather, it is a set of standards (IEEE 1003.1): interfaces, design guidelines, ... [MORE] Linux@ (3) 1. LinuxThreads FAQ - Frequently asked questions about the kernel-level multi-threading library for Linux. 2. Multithreaded Programming (pthreads Tutorial) - Dives into the world of threads with a little bit of "theory" first. Examine thread synchronization primitives and how to use POSIX pthreads. Finally, it finishes off with thread performance and a brief overview of multiprocess programming. 3. Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads - The complementary site for the book with the same title. 4. POSIX Synchronous Wrappers - A set of C++ wrappers for posix synchronous entities such as pthread, mutexes and condition. 5. POSIX Threads Tutorial - How to write parallel applications using POSIX threads. By Mark Hays. 6. An Introduction to POSIX Threads - This article demystifies the POSIX thread interface, providing practical examples of threaded code for consideration. 7. GNU Pth - Portable Threads: portable POSIX/ANSI-C library for Unix gives non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multithreading in programs. All threads run in same address space, each has its own program counter, run time stack, signal mask, errno variable; cooperative scheduling: threads dispatched based on priority, pending events. [Open Source, GPL] 8. Introduction to Programming Threads - Introduces what threads are, why they are useful and how to program with them using the POSIX 1003.1c thread standard and API bindings for C. 9. Multi-Threaded Programming with POSIX Threads - Attempts to show how the library's features can be used in "real-life" programs. It explains the different tools defined by the library, shows how to use them, and then gives an example of using them to solve programming problems. 10. Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) 0.1 Released - Initial performance: 8x Linux Threads, 4x NGPT. [Linux Weekly News] 11. Next Generation POSIX Threading: NGPT - Goals: solve problems of pthreads library on Linux; add M:N threading, raise POSIX compliance and speed in threaded programs, more so under SMP, give threading services more like commercial Unix. Derived from GNU Pth. [Open Source, LGPL] 12. POSIX Threads Explained, Part 1 NEW! - How to use POSIX threads to increase the responsiveness and performance of your code. 13. POSIX Threads Explained, Part 2 - How to protect the integrity of shared data structures in threaded code by using mutexes. 14. POSIX Threads Explained, Part 3 - How to use condition variables. 15. POSIX Threads Programming - Provides an overview of threads programming and the POSIX threads API. 16. Threads - The Single UNIX Specification (Version 2) standard for threads. Includes manual pages of all POSIX thread functions.
