<p>On October 7th I began a course on Computer Architecture and Operating Systems. First part of the course is about operating systems.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve alredy asked for a copy of &#8220;Modern operating systems&#8221; by Tanenbaum from the local library.</p>
<p>The first lessons covered multi-threaded programming using pthreads library.</p>
<p>I just wanted to link a nice document about multi-threaded programming with pthreads:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="POSIX Threads Programming" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/" >https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Bye for now!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>EDIT</strong>: I&#8217;ve noticed there are some other interesting tutorials on the <i>Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory&#8217;s&nbsp;<a title="Livermore Computing Centre" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/" >Livermore Computing Center</a></i> website. Among the interesting ones:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Introduction to parallel computing" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/parallel_comp/" >Introduction to parallel computing</a></li>
<li><a title="Message Passing Interface" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/mpi/" >Message Passing Interface</a></li>
<li><a title="Advanced MPI" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/mpi_advanced/DavidCronkSlides.pdf" >Advanced MPI</a></li>
<li><a title="OpenMP" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/openMP/#Abstract" >OpenMP</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a title="Livermore Computing Centre -- tutorials" href="https://computing.llnl.gov/?set=training&amp;page=index#training_materials" >Here</a> is the full list of tutorials.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT #2 </strong>(16 Oct 2013): As always, digging the Internet I ended in being overwhelmed with informations, HOWTOs and pages to read. I found the following pages which look interesting:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Multithreaded Debugging Tecniques" href="http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/multithreaded-debugging-techniques/199200938" >Multithreaded Debugging Techniques</a></li>
<li><a title="Beej's quick guide to GDB" href="http://beej.us/guide/bggdb/" >Beej&#8217;s Quick Guide to GDB</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that the latter page is totally unrelated to (p)threads but is a page of general interest as it talks about GDB, the GNU Debugger.</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ll probably begin collecting links related to this subject, I decided to make a <a title="Links about Architettura dei Calcolatori e Sistemi Operativi" href="https://delicious.com/snoopybbt/acso" >list of links related to the &#8220;ACSO&#8221; course</a>, publicly available via my Delicious profile.</p>
