Multithreaded Programming (pthreads Tutorial) - Dives into the world of threads with a little bit of "theory" first. Examine thread synchronization primitives and how to use POSIX pthreads. Finally, it finishes off with thread performance and a brief overview of multiprocess programming. - http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/resources/programming/threads.html
POSIX Threads Programming - Provides an overview of threads programming and the POSIX threads API. - http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/pthreads/
Multi-Threaded Programming with POSIX Threads - Attempts to show how the library's features can be used in "real-life" programs. It explains the different tools defined by the library, shows how to use them, and then gives an example of using them to solve programming problems. - http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/multi-thread/multi-thread.html
