Getting Started with POSIX Threads
Introduction to POSIX threads with sample source available for download.
Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) 0.1 Released
Initial performance: 8x Linux Threads, 4x NGPT. [Linux Weekly News]
LinuxThreads FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the kernel-level multi-threading library for Linux.
Native POSIX Thread Library: NPTL
White paper describes actual implementation of thread library for which requirements are spelled out in a prior document. Many things are different.
Multi-Threaded Programming with POSIX Threads
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.
Multithreaded Programming (pthreads Tutorial)
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.
Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads
The complementary site for the book with the same title.
POSIX Threads Explained, Part 2
How to protect the integrity of shared data structures in threaded code by using mutexes.
POSIX Threads Explained, Part 3
How to use condition variables.
An Introduction to POSIX Threads
This article demystifies the POSIX thread interface, providing practical examples of threaded code for consideration.
POSIX Threads Explained, Part 1
How to use POSIX threads to increase the responsiveness and performance of your code.
Next Generation POSIX Threading: NGPT
Goals: solve problems of pthreads library on Linux; add M:N threading, raise POSIX compliance and speed in threaded programs, more so under SMP, give threading services more like commercial Unix. Derived from GNU Pth. [Open Source, LGPL]
GNU Pth
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 variable; cooperative scheduling: threads dispatched based on priority, pending events. [Open Source, GPL]

Introduction to Programming Threads
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.
Threads
The Single UNIX Specification (Version 2) standard for threads. Includes manual pages of all POSIX thread functions.
POSIX Synchronous Wrappers
A set of C++ wrappers for posix synchronous entities such as pthread, mutexes and condition.
