Threads

[Simon Adler]

Hello everybody,

I want to use Threads in a Programm to accelerate Some calculations
on a Grid.

May somebody advise some Links to a Thread Library? I need
Platform independence, because the Program has to work with
Win32, Linux and Irix.

Is there a Posix implementation?

Thanks for any advice

Both linux and irix should have pthreads,
pthreads for windows is here:

This is btw offtopic for this newsgroup.

Hello everybody,

The ISO standard C++ language (the topic here), does
not have concepts of 'threads' or 'grid'.

Platform independence, because the Program has to work with
Win32, Linux and Irix.

Is there a Posix implementation?

I'm not positive, but I think so. A good place to
check is:
www.posix.org


Here's a rather extensive list of available libraries for
C++:
http://www.trumphurst.com/cpplibs1.html
( I didn't peruse it for threading stuff, but I wouldn't
be surprised if some are cited).

Also there's wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows), which has
threading support (might be listed at trumphurst, I
didn't check):

http://www.wxwidgets.org/

Last time I looked, wxWidgets supported platforms were:
Windows
Mac
OS/2
X Windows
Motif

Yes, there is a POSIX Threads specification. It is available natively
on most UNIX derivatives, including Solaris, Linux, and Irix. There is
a port for Microsoft Windows platforms:

The PThreads-win32 library can be compiled as either DLL or a static
library, and is known to perform quite decently.
