hi, i'm developing an application that use threads. i read that there are user-space and kernel-space threads.
i want to use kernel space threads....
i read that linux supports native-threads(kernel-space) and the project is LinuxThreads so i donwloaded LinuxThreads and i see that the library used is pthread.h .... but i heard that pthread support user space threads...
so wich is the right library??
:rolleyes:
thank u.
bye.
thank u for the information, i saw that LinuxThreads are built in but i'm not sure :)
and what about NPTL (native posix thread library) ??
it's a newer library, its'right??
thank u.
attention!
nptl it's different to ngpt

take a look!
:)
P.S. see the benchmark at the last pages...
> Besides, do you have any real reasons not to use LinuxThreads, i.e. do they miss something you need?
i don't think but if NPTL is more efficient why don't use it? especially if my application needs to be efficient :)
A headline from vVv's link:
Looks like NGPT might be worth looking into. ;)Quote:
NEW: "STABLE" NGPT 2.2.0
TOPS BOTH LINUXTHREADS AND NPTL IN PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY
