• Compound Win32 Synchronization Objects

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810427.aspx
  Describes strategies to combine the Win32 synchronization primitives into more complex synchronization objects. It presents several solutions for implementing advanced synchronization objects along with a comparison of how they perform.

• Multithreaded Programming with Win32

  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130109126
  This book describes techniques for designing and implementing multithreaded software applications.

• Multithreading for Rookies

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810438.aspx
  Focuses on some practical applications of Win32 multithreading.

• POSIX Emulation Layer for WindowsThreads

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pelt/
  This package provides a POSIX layer on top of Win32 threads to facilitate porting of Unix applications to Win32 platforms. [Open Source, LGPL]

• POSIX Threads (pthreads) for Win32

  https://www.sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/
  An implementation of POSIX pthreads for Win32. [Open source, LGPL].

• Pushing the Limits of Windows: Processes and Threads

  http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2009/07/08/3261309.aspx
  Discusses the limits on the maximum number of threads and processes supported on Windows. Describes the difference between a thread and a process, surveys thread limits and then investigates process limits

• Scalable Multithreaded Programming with Thread Pools

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg232758.aspx
  Presents some of the concepts of multithreaded programming and shows some simple ways to introduce threaded execution with OpenMP and thread pools. Also demonstrates how to use Visual Studio 2010 to measure the improvement in performance gained from these techniques.

• Synchronization Primitives New to Windows Vista

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163405.aspx
  Focuses on several of the new thread synchronization features introduced with Windows Vista: condition variables, slim reader/writer locks, and one-time initialization.
