| ZThreads An advanced object-oriented, cross-platform C++ threading and synchronization library. [GPL] | |
| Writing Multithreaded Java Applications Introduces the Java Thread API, outlines issues involved in multithreading, and offers solutions to common problems. | |
| Win32 Multithreading Made Easy Describes an object-oriented framework for Win32 that encapsulates threads. (August, 1999) | |

| Threading Lightly: Synchronization is not the Enemy Takes a look at the semantics and the performance penalty of Java's synchronized keyword. | |
| Threading Lightly: Reducing Contention Explains why contended synchronization is a problem and then explores several techniques for reducing contention, and hence improving scalability. | |
