DESCRIPTION The heavyweight process model, historically used by Unix systems, including Linux, to split a large system into smaller, more tractable pieces doesn't always lend itself to embedded environments owing to substantial computational overhead. POSIX threads, also known as Pthreads, is a multithreading API that looks more like what embedded programmers are used to but runs in a Unix/Linux environment, among others. This class introduces Posix Threads and shows how the Pthreads programming model addresses some subtle programming problems. Using threads can help you create more efficient, more responsive programs. PREREQUISITES Course Price $19.95 ESTIMATED TIME 96 minutes AUTHOR

Doug Abbott Principal Consultant, Intellimetrix

Doug Abbott is an independent consultant with more than 30 years experience in embedded systems hardware and software design. He got his start back in the days when men were men and computers were more than wimpy little boxes sitting on the desktop. Having spent several years working with various real-time operating systems, he decided to jump on the Linux bandwagon. In addition to solving firmware problems for clients, Doug is a popular instructor leading seminars on real-time programming and other facets of embedded system design. Doug earned his MSEE from the University of California, Berkeley. He is also the author of two books: Linux for Embedded and Real-time Applications and PCI Bus Demystified.
