Re: Anybody know anything about threads and multi-thread jobs? -- C400-L

In addition, get yourself a copy of:

"Programming with POSIX Threads"
David R. Butenhof
Pub: Addison-Wesley
ISBN: 0-201-63392-2

and read it cover to cover before writing a single line of multi- threaded code.

Hi James,

The 'Multithreaded applications' topic (under the 'Programming' topic) in
infocenter is a great place to start. Here is the URL for the 6.1 version
of the document:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/rzahw/rzahwovepo.htm

This topic has sections which address most of your questions. One thing to
keep in mind is that the ILE environment (activation groups in particular)
adds some complexity to threaded programming. You can find information on
this in the 'Threads on i5/OS' subtopic.

The 'Multithreaded applications' topic has a section which talks about
thread support in various programming languages, but you will also want to
take a look at the documentation for the individual compilers in infocenter
for more detailed information.

Good luck!

Yes, I'm familiar with threads and multi-threaded jobs :)

Any recommendations on where to start relieving my own ignorance (and
please, no sarcastic links to "lmgtfy.com")?

How difficult are they to deal with? What languages support threads? At
what OS level do they become possible/practical?
