First, let's import some necessary headers, mainly pthread.h which provides the POSIX threads implementation. When I was writing the Multicore book, I was struck by the commonality of the Windows [1][2] and POSIX threading APIs. Today was the final day of a 3-day workshop on POSIX threads (pthreads) and Network programming, organized at the Ettimadai (Coimbatore) campus of Amrita. I don't think I need to introduce my interview-partner today to anyone who has done threads-programming (except maybe to the Windows-folks). Thread" is just a name for a basic software "thing" that can do work on a computer. It was primarily created to support Java development but was later extended to support other programming languages. The past three days were extremely useful for all of us. 7 Comments: Blogger 9dy86l said Get any Desired College Degree, In less then 2 weeks. In MacOS 10.6.6, a lock implementation is provided using the POSIX Threads API. This book is about "threads" and how to use them. This is the fourth post in my Interviewing the Parallel Programming Idols-Series. Call this number now 24 hours a day 7 days a week (413) 208-3069. A thread is smaller, faster, and more maneuverable than a traditional process. You should read it at least until “Starting a process” part, and if you're not afraid of C and want to know more about low-level workings of threads, POSIX system calls etc – keep reading until the end. In multithreaded programming, we often speak of locks (also known as mutexes). POSIX threading API on Windows. To support POSIX Threads Programming: https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/. Here's a simple C program that demonstrates the use of the pthreads library for multicore programming.
