	LinuxThreads FAQ URL: http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads/faq.html ODP description: Frequently asked questions about the kernel-level multi-threading library for Linux. Page title: LinuxThreads Frequently Asked Questions
	Native POSIX Thread Library: NPTL URL: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nptl-design.pdf ODP description: White paper describes actual implementation of thread library for which requirements are spelled out in a prior document. Many things are different.
	POSIX Synchronous Wrappers URL: http://www.partow.net/programming/posixsynchwrapper/index.html ODP description: A set of C++ wrappers for posix synchronous entities such as pthread, mutexes and condition. Page description: A set of wrappers for posix threading and synchronous entities such as pthread, mutexes and condition
	Multithreaded Programming (pthreads Tutorial) URL: http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/resources/programming/threads.html ODP description: 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.
	POSIX Threads Explained, Part 3 URL: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posix3/ ODP description: How to use condition variables. Page title: Common threads: POSIX threads explained, Part 3 Page description: In this article, the last of a three-part series on POSIX threads, Daniel takes a good look at how to use condition variables. Condition variables are POSIX thread structures that allow you to 'wake up' threads when certain conditions are met. You can think of them as a thread-safe form of signalling. Daniel wraps up the article by using all that you've learned so far to implement a multi-threaded work crew application.
	Semaphores in Linux URL: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2007/05/24/semaphores-in-linux.html ODP description: An explanation of semaphores under Linux, including a comparison of System V and POSIX style semaphores. Code examples show how semaphores are used.
	Threads URL: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_09.html ODP description: The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6 (IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition) chapter for threads. Includes manual pages of all POSIX thread functions. Page title: System Interfaces Chapter 2
	GNU Pth URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/ ODP description: 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] Page title: GNU Pth - The GNU Portable Threads
	POSIX Threads Tutorial URL: http://www.laptev.org/doc/pthreads.html ODP description: How to write parallel applications using POSIX threads. By Mark Hays. Page title: POSIX Threads
	Multi-Threaded Programming with POSIX Threads URL: http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/multi-thread/multi-thread.html ODP description: 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. Page title: Multi-Threaded Programming With POSIX Threads
	POSIX Threads Explained, Part 1 URL: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posix1.html ODP description: How to use POSIX threads to increase the responsiveness and performance of your code. Page title: POSIX threads explained
	An Introduction to POSIX Threads URL: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-pthred.html ODP description: This article demystifies the POSIX thread interface, providing practical examples of threaded code for consideration. Page title: Basic use of pthreads Page description: Threads strike fear into the hearts of many programmers. UNIX's process model is simple and well understood, but it is sometimes inefficient. Threading can often allow for substantial improvements in performance, at the cost of a little confusion. This article demystifies the POSIX thread interface, providing practical examples of threaded code for consideration.
	POSIX Threads on HP-UX 11i URL: http://devresource.hp.com/drc/resources/pthread_wp_jul2004.pdf ODP description: Provides an overview of the thread model implementation on HP-UX 11i and describes the impact that each thread model has on application behavior and performance.

	Introduction to Programming Threads URL: http://www.mit.edu/people/proven/IAP_2000/index.html ODP description: 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.
	POSIX Threads Programming URL: http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/pthreads/ ODP description: Provides an overview of threads programming and the POSIX threads API. Page description: Livermore Computing Training
	POSIX Threads Explained, Part 2 URL: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posix2/ ODP description: How to protect the integrity of shared data structures in threaded code by using mutexes. Page title: Common threads: POSIX threads explained, Part 2 Page description: POSIX threads are a great way to increase the responsiveness and performance of your code. In this second article of a three-part series, Daniel Robbins shows you how to protect the integrity of shared data structures in your threaded code by using nifty little things called mutexes.
