Concurrent Programming in Harmony by Cornell
The Harmony Virtual Machine: Principles and Practice of Concurrent Programming This comprehensive guide develops the principles and practice of concurrent programming with the Harmony Virtual Machine. This comprehensive reference guide discusses key ideas such as critical sections and problems in concurrent programming. It helps readers learn about Peterson's algorithm for mutual exclusion, various locking mechanisms, and concurrent data structures. The text also explains advanced synchronization techniques, such as conditional waiting, reader/writer locks, and monitors. In addition, this book includes deadlock and starvation concepts. It talks about distributed systems with consensus algorithms such as Paxos and the protocols used for authentication, such as Needham-Schroeder. Material is structured to support theoretical understanding and practical application, making this text useful for both students and practitioners in concurrent programming.

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 languages-including C, C++, Java, Ada, and Perl-showing 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.
