This file describes some of the design decisions that were made during
|
||
|
|
the multi-threading of the Prospero server, and the rationales for the
|
||
|
|
decisions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We decided to use the Posix threads library {pthreads) because:
|
||
|
|
a) it was already becoming a standard; nothing else was.
|
||
|
|
b) it had the needed functionality for our simple task
|
||
|
|
c) a free implementation existed for our development environment, SunOS 4.1.3
|
||
|
|
on the SPARC processor.
