[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

When: May 18, 2005 7:00PM (6:30 for Q&A)
Topic: Programming with POSIX Threads
Moderator: Jerry Feldman
Location:  MIT Building E51 Room 145
    * What is threads - very generic to include Sun's lwp.
    * Why use threads more in the context of single-threaded app vs.
	multi-threaded app and threads vs. fork().
    * Kernel threads vs. user threads. This is important in Linux 2.6
	kernels with NPTL.
    * Basic thread concepts and functions: thread creation, thread
	join, mutex, conditions, attributes.
    * Some simple examples. 

For more information and directions please go to the BLU main site:

Note that there is sufficient parking in the parking lot at the Amherst
st. entrance of the building and accross the street on the corner of
Amherst and Hayward St. The building is approximately one block from
the Kendall Sq. T station.
