在多处理器共享内存的架构中（如：对称多处理系统SMP），线程可以用于实现程序的并行性。历史上硬件销售商实现了各种私有版本的多线程库，使得软件开发者不得不关心它的移植性。对于UNIX系统，IEEE POSIX 1003.1标准定义了一个C语言多线程编程接口。依附于该标准的实现被称为POSIX theads 或 Pthreads。

该教程介绍了Pthreads的概念、动机和设计思想。内容包含了Pthreads API主要的三大类函数：线程管理（Thread Managment）、互斥量（Mutex Variables）和条件变量（Condition Variables）。向刚开始学习Pthreads的程序员提供了演示例程。

适于：刚开始学习使用线程实现并行程序设计；对于C并行程序设计有基本了解。不熟悉并行程序设计的可以参考[EC3500: Introduction To Parallel Computing][EC3500_ Introduction To Parallel Computing]。

**什么是线程? **

*  技术上，线程可以定义为：可以被操作系统调度的独立的指令流。但是这是什么意思呢？ 
 *  对于软件开发者，在主程序中运行的“函数过程”可以很好的描述线程的概念。 
 *  进一步，想象下主程序（a.out）包含了许多函数，操作系统可以调度这些函数，使之同时或者（和）独立的执行。这就描述了“多线程”程序。 
 *  怎样完成的呢？

*  在理解线程之前，应先对UNIX进程（process）有所了解。进程被操作系统创建，需要相当多的“额外开销”。进程包含了程序的资源和执行状态信息。如下： 
    
     *  进程ID，进程group ID，用户ID和group ID 
     *  环境 
     *  工作目录  
     *  程序指令 
     *  寄存器 
     *  栈 
     *  堆 
     *  文件描述符 
     *  信号动作（Signal actions） 
     *  共享库 
     *  进程间通信工具（如：消息队列，管道，信号量或共享内存）

*  线程使用并存在于进程资源中，还可以被操作系统调用并独立地运行，这主要是因为线程仅仅复制必要的资源以使自己得以存在并执行。 
 *  独立的控制流得以实现是因为线程维持着自己的： 
    
     *  堆栈指针 
     *  寄存器 
     *  调度属性（如：策略或优先级） 
     *  待定的和阻塞的信号集合（Set of pending and blocked signals） 
     *  线程专用数据（TSD：Thread Specific Data.） 
 *  因此，在UNIX环境下线程： 
    
     *  存在于进程，使用进程资源 
     *  拥有自己独立的控制流，只要父进程存在并且操作系统支持 
     *  只复制必可以使得独立调度的必要资源 
     *  可以和其他线程独立（或非独立的）地共享进程资源 
     *  当父进程结束时结束，或者相关类似的 
     *  是“轻型的”，因为大部分额外开销已经在进程创建时完成了 
 *  因为在同一个进程中的线程共享资源： 
    
     *  一个线程对系统资源（如关闭一个文件）的改变对所有其它线程是可以见的 
     *  两个同样值的指针指向相同的数据 
     *  读写同一个内存位置是可能的，因此需要成员显式地使用同步

**什么是 Pthreads? **

*  历史上，硬件销售商实现了私有版本的多线程库。这些实现在本质上各自不同，使得程序员难于开发可移植的应用程序。 
 *  为了使用线程所提供的强大优点，需要一个标准的程序接口。对于UNIX系统，IEEE POSIX 1003.1c（1995）标准制订了这一标准接口。依赖于该标准的实现就称为POSIX threads 或者Pthreads。现在多数硬件销售商也提供Pthreads，附加于私有的API。 
 *  Pthreads 被定义为一些C语言类型和函数调用，用pthread.h头（包含）文件和线程库实现。这个库可以是其它库的一部分，如libc。

**为什么使用 Pthreads? **

*  使用Pthreads的主要动机是提高潜在程序的性能。 
 *  当与创建和管理进程的花费相比，线程可以使用操作系统较少的开销，管理线程需要较少的系统资源。

例如，下表比较了fork()函数和pthread\_create()函数所用的时间。计时反应了50,000个进程/线程的创建，使用时间工具实现，单位是秒，没有优化标志。

备注：不要期待系统和用户时间加起来就是真实时间，因为这些SMP系统有多个CPU同时工作。这些都是近似值。

[fork\_vs\_thread.txt][fork_vs_thread.txt]

*  在同一个进程中的所有线程共享同样的地址空间。较于进程间的通信，在许多情况下线程间的通信效率比较高，且易于使用。 
 *  较于没有使用线程的程序，使用线程的应用程序有潜在的性能增益和实际的优点： 
    
     *  CPU使用I/O交叠工作：例如，一个程序可能有一个需要较长时间的I/O操作，当一个线程等待I/O系统调用完成时，CPU可以被其它线程使用。 
     *  优先/实时调度：比较重要的任务可以被调度，替换或者中断较低优先级的任务。 
     *  异步事件处理：频率和持续时间不确定的任务可以交错。例如，web服务器可以同时为前一个请求传输数据和管理新请求。 
 *  考虑在SMP架构上使用Pthreads的主要动机是获的最优的性能。特别的，如果一个程序使用MPI在节点通信，使用Pthreads可以使得节点数据传输得到显著提高。 
 *  例如： 
    
     *  MPI库经常用共享内存实现节点任务通信，这至少需要一次内存复制操作（进程到进程）。 
     *  Pthreads没有中间的内存复制，因为线程和一个进程共享同样的地址空间。没有数据传输。变成cache-to-CPU或memory-to-CPU的带宽（最坏情况），速度是相当的快。 
     *  比较如下：

**使用线程设计程序 **

**并行编程:**

*  在现代多CPU机器上，pthread非常适于并行编程。可以用于并行程序设计的，也可以用于pthread程序设计。 
 *  并行程序要考虑许多，如下： 
    
     *  用什么并行程序设计模型？ 
     *  问题划分 
     *  加载平衡（Load balancing） 
     *  通信 
     *  数据依赖 
     *  同步和竞争条件 
     *  内存问题 
     *  I/O问题 
     *  程序复杂度 
     *  程序员的努力/花费/时间 
     *  ...  
 *  包含这些主题超出本教程的范围，有兴趣的读者可以快速浏览下“[Introduction to Parallel Computing][EC3500_ Introduction To Parallel Computing]”教程。 
 *  大体上，为了使用Pthreads的优点，必须将任务组织程离散的，独立的，可以并发执行的。例如，如果routine1和routine2可以互换，相互交叉和（或者）重叠，他们就可以线程化。

*  拥有下述特性的程序可以使用pthreads： 
    
     *  工作可以被多个任务同时执行，或者数据可以同时被多个任务操作。 
     *  阻塞与潜在的长时间I/O等待。 
     *  在某些地方使用很多CPU循环而其他地方没有。 
     *  对异步事件必须响应。 
     *  一些工作比其他的重要（优先级中断）。 
 *  Pthreads 也可以用于串行程序，模拟并行执行。很好例子就是经典的web浏览器，对于多数人，运行于单CPU的桌面/膝上机器，许多东西可以同时“显示”出来。 
 *  使用线程编程的几种常见模型： 
    
     *  ***管理者/工作者（Manager/worker）：***一个单线程，作为管理器将工作分配给其它线程（工作者），典型的，管理器处理所有输入和分配工作给其它任务。至少两种形式的manager/worker模型比较常用：静态worker池和动态worker池。 
     *  ***管道（Pipeline）：***任务可以被划分为一系列子操作，每一个被串行处理，但是不同的线程并发处理。汽车装配线可以很好的描述这个模型。 
     *  ***Peer:*** 和manager/worker模型相似，但是主线程在创建了其它线程后，自己也参与工作。

**共享内存模型（Shared Memory Model）:**

*  所有线程可以访问全局，共享内存 
 *  线程也有自己私有的数据 
 *  程序员负责对全局共享数据的同步存取（保护）

**线程安全（Thread-safeness）:**

*  线程安全：简短的说，指程序可以同时执行多个线程却不会“破坏“共享数据或者产生“竞争”条件的能力。 
 *  例如：假设你的程序创建了几个线程，每一个调用相同的库函数： 
    
     *  这个库函数存取/修改了一个全局结构或内存中的位置。 
     *  当每个线程调用这个函数时，可能同时去修改这个全局结构活内存位置。 
     *  如果函数没有使用同步机制去阻止数据破坏，这时，就不是线程安全的了。

*  如果你不是100%确定外部库函数是线程安全的，自己负责所可能引发的问题。 
 *  建议：小心使用库或者对象，当不能明确确定是否是线程安全的。若有疑虑，假设其不是线程安全的直到得以证明。可以通过不断地使用不确定的函数找出问题所在。

*  Pthreads API在ANSI/IEEE POSIX 1003.1 – 1995标准中定义。不像MPI，该标准不是免费的，必须向IEEE购买。 
 *  Pthreads API中的函数可以非正式的划分为三大类： 
    
    1.  ***线程管理（Thread management）**:*** 第一类函数直接用于线程：创建（creating），分离（detaching），连接（joining）等等。包含了用于设置和查询线程属性（可连接，调度属性等）的函数。 
    2.  ***互斥量（Mutexes）**:*** 第二类函数是用于线程同步的，称为互斥量（mutexes），是"mutual exclusion"的缩写。Mutex函数提供了创建，销毁，锁定和解锁互斥量的功能。同时还包括了一些用于设定或修改互斥量属性的函数。 
    3.  ***条件变量（Condition variables）：***第三类函数处理共享一个互斥量的线程间的通信，基于程序员指定的条件。这类函数包括指定的条件变量的创建，销毁，等待和受信（signal）。设置查询条件变量属性的函数也包含其中。 
 *  命名约定：线程库中的所有标识符都以**pthread**开头

*  在API的设计中充满了不透明对象的概念，基本调用可以创建或修改不透明对象。不透明的对象可以被一些属性函数调用修改。 
 *  Pthread API包含了60多个函数。该教程仅限于一部分（对于刚开始学习Pthread的程序是非常有用的）。 
 *  为了可移植性，使用Pthread库时，pthread.h头文件必须在每个源文件中包含。 
 *  现行POSIX标准仅定义了C语言的使用。Fortran程序员可以嵌入C函数调用使用，有些Fortran编译器（像IBM AIX Fortran）可能提供了Fortran pthreads API。 
 *  关于Pthreads有些比较优秀的书籍。其中一些在该教程的参考一节列出。

**创建线程:**

*  最初，main函数包含了一个缺省的线程。其它线程则需要程序员显式地创建。 
 *  pthread\_create 创建一个新线程并使之运行起来。该函数可以在程序的任何地方调用。 
 *  pthread\_create参数： 
    
     *  thread：返回一个不透明的，唯一的新线程标识符。 
     *  attr：不透明的线程属性对象。可以指定一个线程属性对象，或者NULL为缺省值。 
     *  start\_routine：线程将会执行一次的C函数。 
     *  arg: 传递给*start\_routine*单个参数，传递时必须转换成指向void的指针类型。没有参数传递时，可设置为NULL。 
 *  一个进程可以创建的线程最大数量取决于系统实现。 
 *  一旦创建，线程就称为peers，可以创建其它线程。线程之间没有指定的结构和依赖关系。

 </tr> 
 </tbody>

**线程属性:**

*  线程被创建时会带有默认的属性。其中的一些属性可以被程序员用线程属性对象来修改。 
 *  pthread\_attr\_init 和 pthread\_attr\_destroy用于初始化/销毁先成属性对象。 
 *  其它的一些函数用于查询和设置线程属性对象的指定属性。 
 *  一些属性下面将会讨论。

**结束终止:**

*  结束线程的方法有一下几种： 
    
     *  线程从主线程（main函数的初始线程）返回。 
     *  线程调用了pthread\_exit函数。 
     *  其它线程使用 pthread\_cancel函数结束线程。 
     *  调用exec或者exit函数，整个进程结束。 
 *  pthread\_exit用于显式退出线程。典型地，pthread\_exit()函数在线程完成工作时，不在需要时候被调用，退出线程。 
 *  如果main()在其他线程创建前用pthread\_exit()退出了，其他线程将会继续执行。否则，他们会随着main的结束而终止。 
 *  程序员可以可选择的指定终止状态，当任何线程连接（join）该线程时，该状态就返回给连接（join）该线程的线程。 
 *  清理：pthread\_exit()函数并不会关闭文件，任何在线程中打开的文件将会一直处于打开状态，知道线程结束。 
 *  讨论：对于正常退出，可以免于调用pthread\_exit()。当然，除非你想返回一个返回值。然而，在main中，有一个问题，就是当main结束时，其它线程还没有被创建。如果此时没有显式的调用pthread\_exit()，当main结束时，进程（和所有线程）都会终止。可以在main中调用pthread\_exit()，此时尽管在main中已经没有可执行的代码了，进程和所有线程将保持存活状态，。

--------------------

**例子: Pthread 创建和终止 **

*  该例用pthread\_create()创建了5个线程。每一个线程都会打印一条“Hello World”的消息，然后调用pthread\_exit()终止线程。

*  pthread\_create()函数允许程序员想线程的start routine传递一个参数。当多个参数需要被传递时，可以通过定义一个结构体包含所有要传的参数，然后用pthread\_create()传递一个指向改结构体的指针，来打破传递参数的个数的限制。 
 *  所有参数都应该传引用传递并转化成（void\*）。

**连接:**

*   “连接”是一种在线程间完成同步的方法。例如：

*  pthread\_join()函数阻赛调用线程知道threadid所指定的线程终止。 
 *  如果在目标线程中调用pthread\_exit()，程序员可以在主线程中获得目标线程的终止状态。 
 *  连接线程只能用pthread\_join()连接一次。若多次调用就会发生逻辑错误。 
 *  两种同步方法，互斥量（mutexes）和条件变量（condition variables），稍后讨论。

**可连接（Joinable or Not）?**

*  当一个线程被创建，它有一个属性定义了它是可连接的（joinable）还是分离的（detached）。只有是可连接的线程才能被连接（joined），若果创建的线程是分离的，则不能连接。 
 *  POSIX标准的最终草案指定了线程必须创建成可连接的。然而，并非所有实现都遵循此约定。 
 *  使用pthread\_create()的attr参数可以显式的创建可连接或分离的线程，典型四步如下： 
    
    1.  声明一个pthread\_attr\_t数据类型的线程属性变量 
    2.  用 pthread\_attr\_init()初始化改属性变量 
    3.  用pthread\_attr\_setdetachstate()设置可分离状态属性 
    4.  完了后，用pthread\_attr\_destroy()释放属性所占用的库资源

**分离（Detaching）：**

*  pthread\_detach()可以显式用于分离线程，尽管创建时是可连接的。 
 *  没有与pthread\_detach()功能相反的函数

**建议：**

*  若线程需要连接，考虑创建时显式设置为可连接的。因为并非所有创建线程的实现都是将线程创建为可连接的。 
 *  若事先知道线程从不需要连接，考虑创建线程时将其设置为可分离状态。一些系统资源可能需要释放。

**防止栈问题:**

*  POSIX标准并没有指定线程栈的大小，依赖于实现并随实现变化。 
 *  很容易超出默认的栈大小，常见结果：程序终止或者数据损坏。 
 *  安全和可移植的程序应该不依赖于默认的栈限制，但是取而代之的是用pthread\_attr\_setstacksize分配足够的栈大小。 
 *  pthread\_attr\_getstackaddr和pthread\_attr\_setstackaddr函数可以被程序用于将栈设置在指定的内存区域。

**在LC上的一些实际例子:**

*  默认栈大小经常变化很大，最大值也变化很大，可能会依赖于每个节点的线程数目。

**概述 **

*  互斥量（Mutex）是“mutual exclusion”的缩写。互斥量是实现线程同步，和保护同时写共享数据的主要方法 
 *  互斥量对共享数据的保护就像一把锁。在Pthreads中，任何时候仅有一个线程可以锁定互斥量，因此，当多个线程尝试去锁定该互斥量时仅有一个会成功。直到锁定互斥量的线程解锁互斥量后，其他线程才可以去锁定互斥量。线程必须轮着访问受保护数据。 
 *  互斥量可以防止“竞争”条件。下面的例子是一个银行事务处理时发生了竞争条件：

 </tr> 
 </tbody> 
</table>

*  上面的例子，当一个线程使用共享数据资源时，应该用一个互斥量去锁定“Balance”。 
 *  一个拥有互斥量的线程经常用于更新全局变量。确保了多个线程更新同样的变量以安全的方式运行，最终的结果和一个线程处理的结果是相同的。这个更新的变量属于一个“临界区（critical section）”。 
 *  使用互斥量的典型顺序如下： 
    
     *  创建和初始一个互斥量 
     *  多个线程尝试去锁定该互斥量 
     *  仅有一个线程可以成功锁定改互斥量 
     *  锁定成功的线程做一些处理 
     *  线程解锁该互斥量 
     *  另外一个线程获得互斥量，重复上述过程 
     *  最后销毁互斥量 
 *  当多个线程竞争同一个互斥量时，失败的线程会阻塞在lock调用处。可以用“trylock”替换“lock”，则失败时不会阻塞。 
 *  当保护共享数据时，程序员有责任去确认是否需要使用互斥量。如，若四个线程会更新同样的数据，但仅有一个线程用了互斥量，则数据可能会损坏。

**用法：**

*  互斥量必须用类型pthread\_mutex\_t类型声明，在使用前必须初始化，这里有两种方法可以初始化互斥量： 
    
    1.  声明时静态地，如：  
        pthread\_mutex\_t mymutex = PTHREAD\_MUTEX\_INITIALIZER;  
    2.  动态地用pthread\_mutex\_init()函数，这种方法允许设定互斥量的属性对象attr。

互斥量初始化后是解锁的。

*  attr对象用于设置互斥量对象的属性，使用时必须声明为pthread\_mutextattr\_t类型，默认值可以是NULL。Pthreads标准定义了三种可选的互斥量属性：

*   
    
     *  协议（Protocol）： 指定了协议用于阻止互斥量的优先级改变 
     *  优先级上限（Prioceiling）：指定互斥量的优先级上限 
     *  进程共享（Process-shared）：指定进程共享互斥量

注意所有实现都提供了这三个可先的互斥量属性。

*  pthread\_mutexattr\_init()和pthread\_mutexattr\_destroy()函数分别用于创建和销毁互斥量属性对象。 
 *  pthread\_mutex\_destroy()应该用于释放不需要再使用的互斥量对象。

**用法：**

*  线程用pthread\_mutex\_lock()函数去锁定指定的mutex变量，若该mutex已经被另外一个线程锁定了，该调用将会阻塞线程直到mutex被解锁。 
 *  pthread\_mutex\_trylock() will attempt to lock a mutex. However, if the mutex is already locked, the routine will return immediately with a "busy" error code. This routine may be useful in  
 *  pthread\_mutex\_trylock()尝试着去锁定一个互斥量，然而，若互斥量已被锁定，程序会立刻返回并返回一个忙错误值。该函数在优先级改变情况下阻止死锁是非常有用的。 
 *  线程可以用pthread\_mutex\_unlock()解锁自己占用的互斥量。在一个线程完成对保护数据的使用，而其它线程要获得互斥量在保护数据上工作时，可以调用该函数。若有一下情形则会发生错误： 
    
     *  互斥量已经被解锁 
     *  互斥量被另一个线程占用 
 *  互斥量并没有多么“神奇”的，实际上，它们就是参与的线程的“君子约定”。写代码时要确信正确地锁定，解锁互斥量。下面演示了一种逻辑错误：

**概述 **

*  条件变量提供了另一种同步的方式。互斥量通过控制对数据的访问实现了同步，而条件变量允许根据实际的数据值来实现同步。 
 *  没有条件变量，程序员就必须使用线程去轮询（可能在临界区），查看条件是否满足。这样比较消耗资源，因为线程连续繁忙工作。条件变量是一种可以实现这种轮询的方式。 
 *  条件变量往往和互斥一起使用 
 *  使用条件变量的代表性顺序如下：

**创建和销毁条件变量 **

**Routines:**

<table style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"> 
 <tbody> 
 <tr> 
 <td> <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_cond_init.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_cond_init</a>&nbsp;(condition,attr) &nbsp; <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_cond_destroy.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_cond_destroy</a>&nbsp;(condition)&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_condattr_init.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_condattr_init</a>&nbsp;(attr) &nbsp; <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_condattr_destroy.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_condattr_destroy</a>&nbsp;(attr)&nbsp;&nbsp; </td> 
 </tr> 
 </tbody> 
</table>

**Usage:**

*  条件变量必须声明为pthread\_cond\_t类型，必须在使用前初始化。有两种方式可以初始条件变量： 
    
    1.  声明时静态地。如：  
        pthread\_cond\_t myconvar = PTHREAD\_COND\_INITIALIZER;  
    2.  用pthread\_cond\_init()函数动态地。创建的条件变量ID通过condition参数返回给调用线程。该方式允许设置条件变量对象的属性，attr。 
 *   
 *  可选的attr对象用于设定条件变量的属性。仅有一个属性被定义：线程共享（process-shared），可以使条件变量被其它进程中的线程看到。若要使用属性对象，必须定义为pthread\_condattr\_t类型（可以指定为NULL设为默认）。

注意所有实现都提供了线程共享属性。

*  pthread\_condattr\_init()和pthread\_condattr\_destroy()用于创建和销毁条件变量属性对象。 
 *  条件变量不需要再使用时，应用pthread\_cond\_destroy()释放条件变量。

**在条件变量上等待（Waiting）和发送信号（Signaling） **

**函数：**

<table style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"> 
 <tbody> 
 <tr> 
 <td> <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_cond_wait.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_cond_wait</a>&nbsp;(condition,mutex) &nbsp; <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_cond_signal.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_cond_signal</a>&nbsp;(condition)&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/man/pthread_cond_broadcast.txt" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" rel="nofollow">pthread_cond_broadcast</a>&nbsp;(condition)&nbsp;&nbsp; </td> 
 </tr> 
 </tbody> 
</table>

**用法：**

*  pthread\_cond\_wait()阻塞调用线程直到指定的条件受信（signaled）。该函数应该在互斥量锁定时调用，当在等待时会自动解锁互斥量。在信号被发送，线程被激活后，互斥量会自动被锁定，当线程结束时，由程序员负责解锁互斥量。 
 *  pthread\_cond\_signal()函数用于向其他等待在条件变量上的线程发送信号（激活其它线程）。应该在互斥量被锁定后调用。 
 *  若不止一个线程阻塞在条件变量上，则应用pthread\_cond\_broadcast()向其它所以线程发生信号。 
 *  在调用pthread\_cond\_wait()前调用pthread\_cond\_signal()会发生逻辑错误。

 <td> &nbsp; </td>

Pthread API的几个特性在该教程中并没有包含。把它们列在下面：

*  线程调度 
    
     *  线程如何调度的实现往往是不同的，在大多数情况下，默认的机制是可以胜任的。 
     *  Pthreads　API提供了显式设定线程调度策略和优先级的函数，它们可以重载默认机制。 
     *  API不需要实现去支持这些特性 
 *  Keys：线程数据（TSD） 
 *  互斥量的Protocol属性和优先级管理 
 *  跨进程的条件变量共享 
 *  Thread Cancellation  
 *  取消线程（Thread Cancellation ） 
 *  多线程和信号（Threads and Signals）
