Concepts of Concurrent Programming
This resource is aimed primarily at explicit concurrency, where a programmer explicitly declares the concurrent behavior within the code. It explains the nature and properties of concurrent programs as well as the issues that arise during execution and how to build such programs efficiently. The text also considers performanceoriented concurrencythat is, the way to exploit a certain capability of hardware in order to realize an increase of efficiency of a program. This material, by taking common applications as a look and common problems present in concurrent programming, acts as a basic guide for anyone interested in knowing the design and implementation of robust concurrent systems.

Concurrent and Distributed Programming
This web resource is a comprehensive tutorial on concurrent and distributed programming with all basics illustrated with practical examples. It starts with an overview of concurrency, illustrating critical principles with simple programming examples. Notes provide overviews of several programming languagesincluding C, C, Java, Ada, and Perlshowing how each approaches concurrency. It encompasses mutual exclusion, message passing, and both the standard and an enhanced version of the classic Dining Philosophers problem. It also touches on threading in Java and Ada as well as introduces the POSIX threads library pthreads for C programs. This book is perfect for students and practitioners who need to know the underpinning of concurrent programming in different environments.
