....waiting, and go back to sleep if necessary. At DEC SRC, the researchers who implemented processes and monitors in Mesa went on to add threads to Modula 2 for the Firefly multiprocessor workstation. The DEC SRC thread design [9, 10, 33] is the ancestor of various thread interfaces for UNIX and C [15, 17, 24], as well as the current work. This similarity in ancestry has an important practical implication: there is a large, common subset of functionality in all of these packages. For example, Birrell s excellent tutorial on programming with threads [10] is directly applicable to the SML threads ....
