» Measuring Lock Contention
   A mutex profiler called mutrace that in contrast to valgrind/drd does not virtualize the CPU instruction set, making it a lot faster. In fact, the hooks mutrace relies on to profile mutex operations should only minimally influence application runtime. mut

» 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
   In addition to scheduling, synchronization and signal handling special emphasis is placed on cancellation, error expedition, performance, hardware and languages. (Daniel J. Berg, Bil Lewis)

» Multithreading in the Solaris Operating Environment
   Describes the new thread implementation of the Solaris 9 Operating Environment which adopted a highly tuned and tested "1:1" thread model in preference to the historic "MxN" implementation.
