Multithreading with C++

[Sagekilla]

Can anyone recommend some good resources to use for setting up some simple multithreading with C++? If possible, the more simple the tutorial and example thread the better. I'm doing some simulations, and I want to be able to run multiple simulations in parallel, so I don't need to worry about dependencies between simulation A and simulation B.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks for the link dancho ;)

You happen to know any for platform independent threads? I'm probably going to be running this on some flavor of linux somewhere along the lines (Since just about every supercomputer I know uses it).

Look up OpenMP.

BTW, if you want to run parallel but independent simulations, you could just launch them as separate processes instead of trying to run them from within a single process. This would be a lot easier to implement and defers all the thread handling to the OS.

pthreads are your friend.

For a portable solution, take a look at the thread library from boost (http://www.boost.org).

+1 for pthreads.
