Multithreading reference?

1261

+16 Q:

I am asking about a good reference for multithreading programming in terms of concepts with good examples using C++/C#?

+8 A:

The Art of Multiprocessor Programming with examples in Java (many can be rewritten in C++, but some get tricky due to garbage collection).
Patterns for Parallel Programming
Concurrency and Coordination Runtime, Parallel Framework Extensions, Microsoft concurrency page - different Microsoft approaches for .NET attempting to catch up Java with different high-level concurrency concepts (JSR166, JSR 166y)
Java Concurrency in Practice (doesn't meet the criteria of C++/C#)
Partial Lock-Free data structures
C++ Concurrency in Action - will cover multithreading from modern C++ point of view
Herb Sutter about concurrency
C++0x proposals, for example N2709, N2744, etc.

The MSDN Library, while verbose, details most the information you'll need and has links to a bunch of tutorials - article.

The Little Book of Semaphores is a free, online introductory textbook. Example code is all in Python.

I recommend Joe Duffy's new book on concurrency on Windows. He covers both the Win32 API and the .NET framework. Excellent reading.
