CSC 4103 Chapter : PA1a
Document Summary
Due date: february 12th, thursday (by 11:59 pm) To learn the use of pthreads or java threads. Many modern operating systems now provide features for a process to contain multiple threads of control. In the class, we have learned many concepts associated with multithreaded computer systems including different multithreading models and several threading issues. We know that threads can be supported at the user level as well as kernel level. We have also learned different thread libraries, posix pthreads, win32 threads and java threads to create and manipulate threads. The textbook (threads, chapter 4) has given the examples of multithreaded programs using these libraries. You will implement the project matrix multiplication given in the textbook (see the. Your program will calculate each element ci,j of the matrix product c of two matrices a and b in a separate thread. So the number of threads is equal to the number of terms in the matrix product.
