Chapter 5 Programming with Kernel Threads Programming with threads, is useful for structuring programs, enhancing performance through concurrency and overlapping I/O, making client/server interaction more efficient, and increases programming complexity. Some things you need to address when programming with threads are: * Creation and management of threads. * Threads synchronization and communication. * Threads scheduling. * Error handling. A traditional non-threaded process has a single thread of control, started and terminated with the process, and multi-threaded programs require that threads be created and terminated explicitly. The HP 3000 Kernel Threads Service provides basic thread creation and management routines. Refer to the OSF DCE Application Development Guide (b3190-90036) and the OSF DCE Application Development Reference (B3190-90032) for detailed information on thread creation and management.
