Object-Oriented Multithreading using C++ - - This book shows how to avoid common pitfalls of multithreading in UNIX, Windows NT, or OS/2 environments.

OpenTop C++ Library - Multi-threading - - A part cross-platform C++ library providing high-performance and portable classes for multi-threading by creating a common wrapper around Windows and POSIX threads, exposing an interface modelled on the popular Java abstractions. Cross-platform support for Java-style synchronization is provided in addition to mutexes and Unix-style condition variables. [Commercial.

Portable Thread Synchronization using C++ - - Provides example C++ classes implementing a series of synchronization objects useful for building portable (Solaris and Win32) multithreaded applications.

Priority Inheritance Protocols - - Use of synchronization mechanisms like semaphores, monitors, and critical regions can lead to uncontrolled priority inversion. [PDF file.

Protothreads - - Extremely lightweight stackless threads which provide linear code execution for event-driven systems, designed for severely memory constrained systems.
