Real-time, and multiprocessing are included.POSIX threads,. In MacOS 10.6.6, a lock implementation is provided using the POSIX Threads API. Thread" is just a name for a basic software "thing" that can do work on a computer. A thread is smaller, faster, and more maneuverable than a traditional process. For UNIX systems, this interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard (1995). In order to take full advantage of the capabilities provided by threads, a standardized programming interface was required. PThreads Programming:A POSIX Standard for Better Multiprocessing .Bradford Nichols et al. Link to slide presentation from Posix Threads talk. Comments about O'Reilly Media PThreads Programming: The book. Readers must also understand basic concurrent programming and be familiar with one or more threading methods, preferably OpenMP*, POSIX threads (also referred to as Pthreads), or the Win32* threading API. In multithreaded programming, we often speak of locks (also known as mutexes). The problem with threads is the It turns out that POSIX Threads, Mach Threads, Windows Threads, Java Threads, and C# Threads all work very much the same, since they're all implemented in more or less the same way. Every modern operating system has support for threads, and most programming environments provide some level of support for threading. What threads give you is the ability for your program to do more than one thing at once . Fwd: Next week: An Introduction to POSIX Threads Programming by Kevin Dankwardt.
