hi to everyone,
In this semester we are having a class concerning High Performace computing / Parallel processing...
In short i have the following questions:
--- We are using pthreads and C. I think that i can use pthreads in c++ code but is there any way to use threads in c++ ,in an object oriented manner?
{Like object oriented pthreads}
--- For everyone that has some experience with production code. Is it common for "everyday" applications (in todays multicore platforms) to use threads?
I use the term everyday to seperate scientific from non scientific applications{*}. I.e. if we open a text editor will we find threads inside?
Last but not least, can anyone propose sources for threaded programming.{Books, sites whatever it might help}. I have "googled" it, but i
was wondering if anyone with hands-on experience has something to say.
{*}:: i imagine that in scientific applications threads are used in things like matrix multiplication.
thanks for your time,
Nicolas
