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.

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

Focuses on some practical applications of Win32 multithreading.

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

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

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. (September 30, 2010)

Focuses on several of the new thread synchronization features introduced with Windows Vista: condition variables, slim reader/writer locks, and one-time initialization. (June 01, 2007)
