I want a more C++/Linux oriented book. I do have some basics of multithreading/parallel programming under my belt, but I want to both brush my skills and improve them further.
The reference for pthreads is Programming with POSIX Threads, by David Butenhof; in addition to the specifics of pthreads, it presents a lot of very good information about concurrency in general. It is, however, strictly C, and it doesn’t really say much about parallel programming. Still, I’d definitely recommend it.
There’s also C++ Concurrency in Action: Practical Multithreading, by Anthony Williams. This is a very new book, and I haven’t seen it yet, but the author played an important role in the standardization of threading, and I’ve seen articles by him, so I expect it will be very good.
