Threading

Name: Anonymous 2009-08-26 3:42

I'm starting to learn about concurrency programming/threading and was wondering about some good resources to start this journey. Concurrency requires a different method of thinking about problems than standard serial code, I'm aware.

So far, I've picked up The Art of Concurrency from O'Reilly and I've been Googling a little (but to not much avail, it seems that threading isn't much of a hobby among programmers and I can see why).

Applications of threading that I would be interested in would be things like timer threading for network timeouts and keeping all the code aware of this happening, design patterns, algorithms, etc. Thank you in advance.

But both are managed by the OS, right?
In the sense that pretty much everything is managed by the OS. User-level threads (including pthreads in ``compliant'' implementations; that is, not Linux, which fakes it with processes) aren't even necessarily managed by the OS, though, and a pain in the ass in general.

I don't see how you would use interrupts for managing GUIs, unless you're talking about different interrupts than I know about.
I must be. I'm talking about the interrupts people who know what they're talking about use.
