        MULTITHREADING -- THE NEW PROGRAMMING PARADIGM
        THAT DRAMATICALLY INCREASES APPLICATION PERFORMANCE

SEE FOR YOURSELF how easy it is to write, debug and maintain
Multithreaded code:  Spend just one day with SunSoft experts in MT and
you will--

        Understand the Threads model and its benefits.
        Gain a working knowledge of thread creation and control, and
          thread synchronization.
        Learn how to write and compile a threads program.

===========================================================================
                        ONE DAY TECHNICAL TUTORIAL
===========================================================================

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:    Solaris Engineers, Product Designers, Software
                      Developers, Technology Architects

PREREQUISITE: Programming experience; knowledge of the UNIX process
model;  previous experience with multi-processor hardware and/or
parallel programming is desirable but not essential

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This seminar is an intensive one-day examination
of the Threads library, beginning with a consideration of current
limits in computing technology and the development of a case for a new
programming model based on concurrency within the process.  The
high-level design aspects of the Threads library are presented as a
background for the main discussion of the development of the API from a
software designers perspective.  The features, usage and performance of
the individual functions of the API are presented.  The day concludes
with a discussion of advanced topics, including signals, scheduling,
timers and cancellation.  This tutorial is designed to be interactive;
student participation is encouraged.
