What is Multithreaded Programming With PThreads about?

<p>68072-8</p> <p>Based on the best-selling Threads Primer, Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads gives you a solid understanding of Posix threads: what they are, how they work, when to use them, and how to optimize them.</p> <p>It retains the clarity and humor of the Primer, but includes expanded comparisons to Win32 and OS/2 implementations. Code examples tested on all of the major UNIX platforms are featured along with detailed explanations of how and why they use threads.</p> <p>In addition to scheduling, synchronization, signal handling, etc., special emphasis is placed on:</p> <ul> <li>Cancellation: What does it mean to do bounded-time cancellation? What are the numerous details the programmer must deal with, and how do you avoid using cancellation at all?</li> <li>Error expeditions: What do they all mean and what should you do about them?</li> <li>Performance: How fast can a program run, and what are the limiting factors? Theoretical issues are considered and a case study for NFS is presented.</li> <li>Hardware: A number of machine designs are examined (Sun, SGI, and DEC), focusing on issues of performance, synchronization instructions, bus design, and invalidation techniq
