Intel Tools for Thread-Oriented Development on Linux
Overview During the early years of Linux, when it was gaining traction through the work of evangelists, the operating system did not offer significant functionality in support of threading. In part, this was due to a unique threading model initially supported by Linus Torvalds, the driving force behind the Linux project. As the need for a more-standardized threading model emerged, Torvalds accepted a new model that more closely resembled commercial server operating systems such as UNIX. During the last few years, Torvalds and the keepers of the Linux flame have added significant improvements to these threading operations. One of these was the adoption of the Pthreads API.
