The problem is that linux doesn't have the same functions as far as I can tell. The current linux standard is pthreads. There is also fork/vfork (create a child process) and there used to be light weight threads years ago, can't for the life of me remember the exact name and reference. I think it came from sysv but not sure. Maybe someone else has a better memory than me. In hpc (high performance computing), OpenMP and MPI are more prevalent as they are designed for mathematical parallel processing and takes care of a lot of the overhead specific to these aims, but they are probably what you are looking for at the moment. > 2009/1/31 Micha Feigin <mi...@post.tau.ac.il>: > > On Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:03:43 -0800 > > ow...@netptc.net wrote: > > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> >---- Original Message ---- > >> >From: ron.l.john...@cox.net > >> >To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > >> >Subject: Re: parallel programming on debian > >> >Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:08:15 -0600 > >> > > >> >>On 01/30/2009 10:01 PM, zhang zhengquan wrote: > >> >>> Dear all debian users: > >> >>> > >> >>> I am taking a course on parallel programming and I wonder if > >> >anyone > >> >>> has encountered the same library problem, > >> >>> > >> >>> the code example the instructor provides has > >> >>> > >> >>> #include <ulocks.h> > >> >>> #include <task.h> > >> >>> > >> >>> and obviously the header files are not available in any packages > >> >for > >> >>> debian sid. > >> >>> > >> >>> Is there any way to get over this problem? > >> >> > >> >>Ask the teacher where to get the headers. > >> >> > >> >>-- > >> >>Ron Johnson, Jr. > >> >>Jefferson LA USA > >> >> > >> >>"I am not surprised, for we live long and are celebrated poopers." > >> >> > >> The brackets around the header files usually indicate to the compiler > >> that the files are part of the 'standard' libraries.
