The Interbase multithreading program library - mthreads - is now
available for the Linux 1.2.8 kernel. The new addition makes the
mthreads library program product now available in versions for
IBM AIX 3.2.4
Linux version 1.2.8
Mark Williams Company Coherent 4.2.10
SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2
The mthreads program library provides a set of syntactically identical,
semantically consistent, multithreading functions on each supported
platform. Multi- platform consistency means software developers now have
a powerful aid to portability as well as meeting aggressive performance
requirements.
mthreads supports a sequential programming model for high performance
I/O intensive concurrent applications. Threads - lightweight contexts -
provide multiple execution paths in the same process, avoiding much of
the performance penalty of multiple processes. Capabilities are
equivalent to those of the Carnegie Mellon University C Threads
Coroutine Implementation (C Threads, Eric C. Cooper, Richard P.Draves,
Carnegie Mellon University, June 1988, CMU-CS-8-154, pg 11). mthreads
allows you to:
+ Interleave thread execution with I/O.
+ Dynamically create and delete multiple threads in a single process
address space.
+ Synchronize and coordinate multiple threads.
+ Dynamically track thread storage usage.
+ Provide per thread timing services.
+ Access full Berkley sockets capability. (Where supported by the
underlying operating system).
All Interbase products come with man pages providing complete on line
documentation enabling you to quickly identify and understand general
principles of operation as well as the operation of each specific
library function.
The one time licence fee of $380 (plus $20 shipping and handling in the
US) gives you unlimited royalty free distribution of the mthreads
library when linked into your product. You also have unlimited use and
duplication rights in your own business (there are no per user or per
machine fees), and you may use included source code without restriction.
Technical support, exclusive of toll charges, is free for the first 30
days after shipment. Each version is sold separately. Liberal discounts
when multiple versions ordered.
