Multithreaded Programming with Win32

This book describes techniques for designing and implementing multithreaded software applications.

Compound Win32 Synchronization Objects

Describes strategies to combine the Win32 synchronization primitives into more complex synchronization objects. It presents several solutions for implementing advanced synchronization objects along with a comparison of how they perform.

Multithreading for Rookies

Focuses on some practical applications of Win32 multithreading.

POSIX Emulation Layer for WindowsThreads

This package provides a POSIX layer on top of Win32 threads to facilitate porting of Unix applications to Win32 platforms. [Open Source, LGPL]

Synchronization Primitives New to Windows Vista

Focuses on several of the new thread synchronization features introduced with Windows Vista: condition variables, slim reader/writer locks, and one-time initialization.

Scalable Multithreaded Programming with Thread Pools

Presents some of the concepts of multithreaded programming and shows some simple ways to introduce threaded execution with OpenMP and thread pools. Also demonstrates how to use Visual Studio 2010 to measure the improvement in performance gained from these techniques.

POSIX Threads (pthreads) for Win32

An implementation of POSIX pthreads for Win32. [Open source, LGPL].
