OpenMP was developed because native operating system threads (often referred to as POSIX threads or Pthreads) programing can be cumbersome. A challenge of the assignment included learning the POSIX Threads API. 8 Mar 2006 Programming against Windows threads has one caveat – initializing the CRT (C Runtime) library in Visual C++. I have found that it is supposed to be IEEE 1003.1c "EEE Standard for Information Technology--Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX(R)) - System Application Program Interface (API) Amendment 2: Threads Extension (C Language)". Each thread Completing this assignment provided a great introduction to parallel programming, Monte Carlo simulations, and the Posix Threads API. Pthreads (a.k.a POSIX Threads), is another parallel programming model over Shared Memory Computers, which is categorized to Threads Based Model (the other is message passing based model).
