Threads Programming

Threads

A thread is a context of execution within a program. Multithreaded programming deals with designing a program to have parts of it execute concurrently.

• - Compares Windows NT and Solaris on a symmetric multiprocessor machine.
  
• - This book provides an in-depth overview of underlying principles as well as practical techniques that can be used to design concurrent programs. (Greg Andrews)
  
• - Use of synchronization mechanisms like semaphores, monitors, and critical regions can lead to uncontrolled priority inversion. [PDF file]
  
• - Higher order threads for C++; tutorial and reference manual.
  
• - This book teaches the fundamental concepts of multithreaded, parallel and distributed computing. Emphasizes how to solve problems, with correctness the primary concern and performance an important, but secondary, concern. (Gregory R. Andrews)
