Scheduling in the user threads library User level threads in Solaris implement a priority scheme and queue-management system distinct from the kernel thread priorities and per-processor dispatch queues that exist in the kernel. This month, Jim Mauro lays the groundwork for discussion on the internals of the threads library, relative to scheduling and thread priorities. |

Achieve strong performance with threads, Part 2 Developers sometimes create multithreaded programs that produce erroneous values or exhibit other strange behaviors. Odd behavior typically arises when a multithreaded program does not use synchronization to serialize thread access to critical code sections. What does it mean to serialize thread access to critical code sections? This article explains Java's synchronization mechanism, and two problems that arise when developers fail to use that mechanism correctly. |
