GNU Pth
Portable Threads: portable POSIX/ANSI-C library for Unix gives non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multithreading in programs. All threads run in same address space, each has its own program counter, run time stack, signal mask, errno variable; cooperative scheduling: threads dispatched based on priority, pending events. [Open Source, GPL]

Next Generation POSIX Threading: NGPT
Goals: solve problems of pthreads library on Linux; add M:N threading, raise POSIX compliance and speed in threaded programs, more so under SMP, give threading services more like commercial Unix. Derived from GNU Pth. [Open Source, LGPL]
