Compares Windows NT and Solaris on a symmetric multiprocessor machine.

An expressive C++ thread synchronization library.

Part of the Computer Science Bibliography Collection.

A simple alternative to the STL plus portable multithreading and networking. Compiles under modern Unix and Windows systems. [Open-source, zlib-like license]

Frequently asked questions (by Bryan O'Sullivan).

Bil Lewis's collection of frequently asked questions.

Comparison of the available Java synchronization primitives with the Win32 counterparts.

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)

Resources on designing a thread class in C++. Provides introduction, basic approach, implementation and using the class thread in C++.

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)

Technical article, covering Amdahl's Law, latencies and bandwidth, on-chip multiprocessing, Jackson technology, and simultaneous multithreading. (SystemLogic.net)

Gives an introduction to priority inversion and shows a pair of techniques to avoid them.

Introduction to C++ (on Win32) and Java multithreading.

This book shows how to avoid common pitfalls of multithreading in UNIX, Windows NT, or OS/2 environments.

A part cross-platform C++ library providing high-performance and portable classes for multi-threading by creating a common wrapper around Windows and POSIX threads, exposing an interface modelled on the popular Java abstractions. Cross-platform support for Java-style synchronization is provided in addition to mutexes and Unix-style condition variables. [Commercial]

Provides example C++ classes implementing a series of synchronization objects useful for building portable (Solaris and Win32) multithreaded applications.

Use of synchronization mechanisms like semaphores, monitors, and critical regions can lead to uncontrolled priority inversion. [PDF file]

Extremely lightweight stackless threads which provide linear code execution for event-driven systems, designed for severely memory constrained systems.

Higher order threads for C++; tutorial and reference manual.

Focuses on the implications of concurrency for software and its consequences for both programming languages and programmers. (Herb Sutter and James Larus)

The State Threads is a small application library which provides a foundation for writing fast and highly scalable Internet applications (e.g., web, proxy, mail servers) on UNIX-like platforms. It offers a threading API for structuring a network application as an event-driven state machine.

Comparing Solaris, Linux, and Windows NT threads.

Dave Butenhof's comparison of thread implementations.

Discusses the usage of the volatile keyword in multithreaded C++ programs.

An advanced object-oriented, cross-platform C++ threading and synchronization library. [GPL]
