POSIX Parallel Programming, Part 3: Threads. Posted by Eugenia Loli on Mon 22nd Jan 2007 06:52 UTC. This book is about "threads" and how to use them. This is the fourth post in my Interviewing the Parallel Programming Idols-Series. Thread" is just a name for a basic software "thing" that can do work on a computer. A challenge of the assignment included learning the POSIX Threads API. Creating And Destroying Threads Synchronizing Threads With Mutexes What Is A Mutex? 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). I know plenty of programmers who use threads and use volatile in C and C++ and life goes on just fine. Whatever OS I am working in, I simply create an equivalent thread-safe message queue class and use that. Today, Chapel runs on virtually any architecture supporting a C compiler, UNIX-like environment, POSIX threads, and MPI or UDP. My favorite inter-thread mechanism is the VxWorks MessageQueue. Each thread Completing this assignment provided a great introduction to parallel programming, Monte Carlo simulations, and the Posix Threads API. Icon In the conclusion of his parallel programming series, David Chisnall looks at using threads. A thread is smaller, faster, and more maneuverable than a traditional process.
