GNU Pth - http://www.gnu.org/software/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] |

Multithreaded Programming (pthreads Tutorial) - http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/resources/programming/threads.html
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. |

Multi-Threaded Programming with POSIX Threads - http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/multi-thread/multi-thread.html
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. |
