Programming with POSIX threads David R. Butenhof

I learned thread programming with POSIX thread or pthread while I was C/C++ programmer long time ago. Creating And Destroying Threads Synchronizing Threads With Mutexes What Is A Mutex? Programming with POSIX ThreadsDavid R. For UNIX systems, a standardized C language threads programming interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard. Multi-Threaded Programming With POSIX Threads Table Of Contents: Before We Start What Is a Thread? For UNIX systems, this interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard (1995). Some of the existing approaches to parallelization include using Windows and POSIX thread APIs, using MPI, and using the OpenMP shared memory threaded programming model. Java's synchronize, wait and notify always baffled me. The pthread is build on notion like Mutex ,Conditions Variable. SMP机器中实现并行常见的做法就是使用threads, hardware vendors有自己的threads实现，但是给程序移植带来很大问题。于是，对于UNIX系统来说，IEEE POSIX 1003.1c标准出台，这就是POSIX Threads -- pthread 2. In order to take full advantage of the capabilities provided by threads, a standardized programming interface was required.
