Threads and Multi-Threaded Programming
-- at its *NEW* location --
Bil Lewis, co-author of the new book "Threads Primer", will tell us
about the role and status of using threads to write software.
Threads are now a "hot" item for database engines, and for many
applications that have heavy-duty processing and/or heavy/duty I/O.
Software professionals need to know about the strength, nature, and
platform variations of threads packages. If you wonder about desirable
applications for threads, are in a how-to-start mode, or are curious
about portability issues, this session will give you a firm grounding
and understanding of threads and multi-threaded applications.
**PLACE**: Amdahl Corporation, HQ Building (Building H)

Date & Time: Tuesday, February 13, 1996, 7:00-9:00 pm
