Making Persistence Work: Using Thread Local Storage
This NetSeminar will demonstrate how to use the Thread Local Storage API within both Windows threads and Pthreads in order to deliver private copies of shared data that will persist during a thread's lifetime. Event Date: Tuesday, November 7, 2006.

Overview
Variables declared within threaded functions are local to threads, but these variables do not persist between function calls. Globally accessible variables persist, but they often require synchronization to be used effectively. This NetSeminar will demonstrate how to use the Thread Local Storage API within both Windows threads and Pthreads in order to deliver private copies of shared data that will persist during a thread's lifetime.
After attending this NetSeminar, participants will understand:
The functions used to declare, use, and remove Thread Local Storage in both Windows threads and Pthreads
How to effectively make use of Thread Local Storage in multithreaded applications and thread-safe libraries
