Just looking for the headers (don't know if they are for the features you want) there is a task.h in linux-headers-2.6.26-1-common-openvz and ulocks.h in clearsilver-dev I'm guessing that both are not what you want since they don't have anything to do with parallel programing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: parallel programming on debian
Thank you, basically, I don't have access to IRIX machines and I wonder if there are counterparts or similar headers in linux that I can use for parallel programming. 2009/1/31 Micha Feigin mi...@post.tau.ac.il: On Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:03:43 -0800 ow...@netptc.net wrote: Original Message From: ron.l.john...@cox.net To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: parallel programming on debian Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:08:15 -0600 On 01/30/2009 10:01 PM, zhang zhengquan wrote: Dear all debian users: I am taking a course on parallel programming and I wonder if anyone has encountered the same library problem, the code example the instructor provides has #include ulocks.h #include task.h and obviously the header files are not available in any packages for debian sid.

The problem is not the headers, you can include them per system using an ifdef. The problem is that linux doesn't have the same functions as far as I can tell. The current linux standard is pthreads.

parallel programming on debian
Dear all debian users: I am taking a course on parallel programming and I wonder if anyone has encountered the same library problem, the code example the instructor provides has #include ulocks.h #include task.h and obviously the header files are not available in any packages for debian sid. Is there any way to get over this problem? Thanks a lot, Zhang -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
