PThread
Having the threads execute within a “single address space” means that the computer’s addressing hardware is configured so as to permit the threads to read and write the same memory locations. In a high-level language, this usually corresponds to the fact that the off-stack (global) variables are shared among all the threads of the program. Each thread executes on a separate call stack with its own separate local variables. The programmer is responsible for using the synchronization mechanisms of the thread facility to ensure that the shared memory is accessed in a manner that will give the correct answer
