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.
