How would you recommend learning about multi threading?
Please list helpful resources. I didn’t take an OS class in college so don’t know much and haven’t really used it in industry.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2482/what-are-some-good-resources-for-learning-threaded-programming, do people not even try Googling anymore?
They want to know what your opinion is
The LNLL tutorial on pthreads is pretty good
If you're a beginner then C++concurrency in action is pretty good.
Suggestions for exercises with solutions for verification/comparison?
Read a book
Just do it
Yeah pretty much. Reading books will only get you so far. Do it and fuck up and learn from those fuck ups.
Write a functional user thread library (similar to pthread lib) in C from scratch. There would be 0.001% you could get away without understanding how multi-threaded program work. Bonus: write thread-local storage and semaphore api as well. Proof: I did it and I understood how processes, threads work.
how about python programmers?
I think you can achieve the same thing in Python (educational purposes). However, be mindful that Python has GIL feature that could prevent improving runtime in a multi-threading environment. Rather, you can spawn new processes to achieve concurency.
