 | | Okay, so portability is great, but what of performance? All of our Pthreads programs will be running with specific Pthreads libraries, operating systems, and hardware. To squeeze the best performance out of a multithreaded application, you must understand the specifics of the environment in which it will be running—especially those details that are beyond the letter of the standard. We'll spend some time in the later sections of this book identifying and describing the implementation-specific issues of Pthreads. | |
