POSIX-Multithreading-C-CPP-Linux

This repository showcases various POSIX Multithreading concepts and their implementations using C and C++ on Linux systems. It is divided into two parts, covering fundamental and advanced topics to help you master multithreading.

The repository was developed as part of a Udemy course on Multithreading. If you'd like to explore the course, you can check it out here.

Repository Structure

Part A

This section focuses on the foundational aspects of multithreading with practical examples. Key topics include:

  • Thread Management
    • Creating and terminating threads, managing stack memory, and thread scheduling.
  • Concurrency and Parallelism
    • Differences between singularism, concurrency, and parallelism, with real-world examples.
  • Joinable and Detached Threads
    • Concepts, implementation, and use cases, including a sample map-reduce program.
  • Inter-Thread Communication (ITC)
    • Understanding callbacks, notification chains, and a publisher-subscriber model.
  • Thread Synchronization
    • Critical sections, mutex locking, and condition variables.
  • Classic Problems
    • Solutions for the producer-consumer problem and the dining philosopher problem.
  • Semaphores
    • Basics, implementation, and differences from mutexes.

All these examples and programs are located in the Part-A folder.

Part B

This section delves into advanced multithreading concepts and problem-solving techniques. Topics include:

  • Recursive Mutexes
    • When to use them and their implementation.
  • Read-Write Locks
    • Benefits and custom implementation of read-write locks.
  • Monitors
    • Using monitors for thread management and solving synchronization problems.
  • Assembly Line Model
    • Designing multithreaded workflows.
  • Deadlock Detection and Prevention
    • Strategies to identify and avoid deadlocks.
  • Wait-Queue Model and Thread Pools
    • Implementing efficient multithreaded task management.

This section also includes unscheduled topics like bounded waiting, strong semaphores, and event pair synchronization, making it a complete reference for mastering multithreading. These examples are located in the Part-B folder.
