This article demystifies the POSIX thread interface, providing practical examples of threaded code for consideration.

Portable Threads: portable POSIX/ANSI-C library for Unix gives non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multithreading in programs. All threads run in same address space, each has its own program counter, run time stack, signal mask, errno variabl...

The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6 (IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition) chapter for threads. Includes manual pages of all POSIX thread functions.

Introduces what threads are, why they are useful and how to program with them using the POSIX 1003.1c thread standard and API bindings for C.

Frequently asked questions about the kernel-level multi-threading library for Linux.

A mutex profiler called mutrace that in contrast to valgrind/drd does not virtualize the CPU instruction set, making it a lot faster. In fact, the hooks mutrace relies on to profile mutex operations should only minimally influence application runtime....

Dives into the world of threads with a little bit of "theory" first. Examine thread synchronization primitives and how to use POSIX pthreads. Finally, it finishes off with thread performance and a brief overview of multiprocess programming.

Attempts to show how the library's features can be used in "real-life" programs. It explains the different tools defined by the library, shows how to use them, and then gives an example of using them to solve programming problems.

In addition to scheduling, synchronization and signal handling special emphasis is placed on cancellation, error expedition, performance, hardware and languages. (Daniel J. Berg, Bil Lewis)

Describes the new thread implementation of the Solaris 9 Operating Environment which adopted a highly tuned and tested "1:1" thread model in preference to the historic "MxN" implementation.
