The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"Threading in Linux"
?by Chad D. Kersey

Feb 2nd, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456

About the talk
Assignments using the POSIX threading interface are part of every CS
undergrad curriculum. The purpose of this presentation is to tell the
rest of the story. Covered topics will include how threads are and
have historically been implemented, what operations are available in
the Linux API beyond the canonical spawn, join, and synchronization
primitives, and what alternatives are available when the Linux
threading implementation is inappropriate for your application.

About the speaker
Chad D. Kersey is a 3rd-year ECE Ph.D. student "diligently" working
toward his degree. He spends most of his time doing low-level systems
programming but has some vague hope of it all converging toward some
capability to do computer architecture research.
