Practical Concurrency

Bryan Cantrill and Jeff Bonwick, both of Sun Microsystems, have written "Real-world Concurrency", published online in the September edition (6.5) of ACM Queue. It's a great set of tips, tricks, and lessons learned for those of us that have to deal with multi-threaded code. I've already passed it along to several of my colleagues working in C, C++ or Java on embedded or multi-core platforms. Queue is the Association for Computing Machinery's online journal targeted at near-term real-world computing issues.
