Chapter 22Parallel Programming Using Threads
Multi-core processors are everywhere in desktops, supercomputers, and mobile phones. If a program is written to take advantage of these multiple cores, the program can run faster than on a single core. If a program is written for multiple cores, then the program can be referred to as a parallel program. If a program is not written for multiple cores, then it is called a sequential program. All programs in this book so far are sequential programs. This chapter provides an introduction to writing parallel programs using threads.
