Hi,
As per my knowledge, posix thread library (pthread) implements M:N
model. i.e. multiple user threads (M) multiplexes on a N LWPs.
When process runs out of LWPs, kernel notifies pthread library to
create a new LWP.
This is identical to default solaris thread implementation.
What is the difference between pthread lib & solaris default thread
library?
If anyone point me to good article which explains architecture of
pthread lib, it would be of gr8 help.

Thanks,
Pankaj
