17 Threads

Bigloo supports multithreaded programming. Two different libraries programming are available. The first one, the Fair Thread (see Section Threads), enables, simple, easy to develop and to maintain code. The second one, the Posix Thread (see Section Posix Threads) enables more easily to take benefit of the actual parallelism that is now available on stock hardware. Because it is easier to program with fthread than with pthread, we strongly recommend to use the former as much as possible and leave the former for specially demanding applications. Both libraries are described in this chapter.
