Software and the Concurrency Revolution
Focuses on the implications of concurrency for software and its consequences for both programming languages and programmers. (Herb Sutter and James Larus)
Await && Locks
An expressive C++ thread synchronization library.
Bibliography on Threads and Multithreading
Part of the Computer Science Bibliography Collection.
Thread Implementation Table
Dave Butenhof's comparison of thread implementations.
State Threads Library
A small application library for writing fast and highly scalable Internet applications on UNIX-like platforms. [Open source, MPL or GPL]
Portable Thread Synchronization using C++
Provides example C++ classes implementing a series of synchronization objects useful for building portable (Solaris and Win32) multithreaded applications.
Priority Inheritance Protocols
Use of synchronization mechanisms like semaphores, monitors, and critical regions can lead to uncontrolled priority inversion. [PDF file]
Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed Programming
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)
Concurrent Programming: Principles and Practice
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)
volatile - Multithreaded Programmer's Best Friend
Discusses the usage of the volatile keyword in multithreaded C++ programs.
Comparing Win32 and Java Synchronization
Comparison of the available Java synchronization primitives with the Win32 counterparts.
Multithreaded Programming in C++ and Java
Introduction to C++ (on Win32) and Java multithreading.
OpenTop C++ Library - Multi-threading
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]
Introduction to Priority Inversion
Gives an introduction to priority inversion and shows a pair of techniques to avoid them.
Designing a Thread Class in C++
Resources on designing a thread class in C++. Provides introduction, basic approach, implementation and using the class thread in C++.
comp.programming.threads FAQ
Bil Lewis's collection of frequently asked questions.
C++ Portable Types Library (PTypes)
A simple alternative to the STL plus portable multithreading and networking. Compiles under modern Unix and Windows systems. [Open-source, zlib-like license]
Survey of Threads
Comparing Solaris, Linux, and Windows NT threads.
RT++
Higher order threads for C++; tutorial and reference manual.
comp.programming.threads FAQ
Frequently asked questions (by Bryan O'Sullivan).
Protothreads
Extremely lightweight stackless threads which provide linear code execution for event-driven systems, designed for severely memory constrained systems.
Fundamentals of Multithreading
Technical article, covering Amdahl's Law, latencies and bandwidth, on-chip multiprocessing, Jackson technology, and simultaneous multithreading. (SystemLogic.net)
A Thread Performance Comparison
Compares Windows NT and Solaris on a symmetric multiprocessor machine.
Object-Oriented Multithreading using C++
This book shows how to avoid common pitfalls of multithreading in UNIX, Windows NT, or OS/2 environments.
ZThreads
An advanced object-oriented, cross-platform C++ threading and synchronization library. [GPL]
