PCM/Threaded-C – a C-based package for scheduling continuation-passing-style threads on the CM-5; In April 1994 the three projects were combined and christened "Cilk". The name Cilk is not an acronym, but an allusion to "nice threads" and the C programming language. The Cilk-1 compiler was released in September 1994.
Multiprocessing Services was introduced in 1996 with the release of System 7.5.3. [1]Multiprocessing Services 2.0, introduced in Mac OS 8.6, [2] is a backwards-compatible major release that increases the level of integration preemptive tasks have with the rest of the system.
Some programmers consider the "p-code" generated by some Pascal compilers, as well as the bytecodes used by .NET, Java, BASIC and some C compilers, to be token-threading. A common approach, historically, is bytecode , which typically uses 8-bit opcodes with a stack-based virtual machine.
To compile a program using multiple threads with the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler, you must specify the /MT switch (or /MTd, for debug programs). References [ edit ]
A C compiler was released with MPW 2.0. The MPW C compiler was written under contract for Apple by Greenhills, a Macintosh-variant of the Green Hills C compiler designed specially for Apple and which was similar to the version that was available for the Lisa Workshop.
pthreads defines a set of C programming language types, functions and constants. It is implemented with a pthread.h header and a thread library. There are around 100 threads procedures, all prefixed pthread_ and they can be categorized into five groups: Thread management – creating, joining threads etc. Mutexes; Condition variables
C11 mainly standardizes features already supported by common contemporary compilers, and includes a detailed memory model to better support multiple threads of execution. Due to delayed availability of conforming C99 implementations, C11 makes certain features optional, to make it easier to comply with the core language standard.
oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB; formerly Threading Building Blocks or TBB) is a C++ template library developed by Intel for parallel programming on multi-core processors. Using TBB, a computation is broken down into tasks that can run in parallel. The library manages and schedules threads to execute these tasks.
