G'day to the comp.programming.threads crew,

Quite some months ago I quizzed this newsgroup, and got some quite 
reasonable feedback to some user-level threading general questions.

At the time I was investigating user-level threading from the point of 
view of supporting a novel simulation architecture.  Simulation 
architectures like web-servers are probably one of the few areas where 
specialised use of user-level threading can make a pretty significant 
difference and where there's enough specialisation to put clamps on what 
any sort of user-level threading library actually needs to do!

Anyway, FYI the paper was published at a simulation conference so you 
can read it at.

Its the one at the bottom.

The first 3 pages covers stuff most here will already know, but should 
set the scene for my take on user-level threads in the context of the 
kind of simulation architecture we've been looking at.  The last 3 are 
more technical, though unfortunately we were limited to 6 pages, so the 
dissertation is pretty short and sweet.  But you'll get the general idea.

Any comments on the paper from resident gurus is appreciated, and 
questions are welcome too!  :)

Mark.
