- Multiprocessing 2.0 SDK
-
- Guide To SDK Contents
-
- August 3, 1999
-
- This SDK has been prepared to help you get started using the Multiprocessing API v2.0.
-
- This document describes briefly what you will find on this disk and how you can put it to use.
-
- Documentation:
-
- MP API FAQs
-
- This document provides answers to a number of frequently asked questions. It provides contact
- information and covers such issues as developer support and supported hardware. It also provides
- a few programming tips. At least scan this document so that you can be familiar with what types of
- information you can expect to find there.
-
- MP API.pdf
-
- This is the technical specification of the Multiprocessing API. This document introduces the API and
- the key concepts behind it. It goes on to describe every function call in detail. It is required reading
- if you intend to program for multiprocessor systems.
-
- MP_Technote.pdf
-
- This document was prepared for inclusion in the Apple Technote collection. It provides a practical,
- step by step description of the types of things an application writer needs to do to implement
- multiprocessing. It also discusses the types of things that can and should be done from tasks as well
- as the types of things that cannot. It is highly recommended reading.
-
- MacTech Article.pdf
-
- This long article was prepared for inclusion in a March 1996 MacTech article on multiprocessing. It
- was significantly abridged before appearing in print. It contains some useful pointers and tips
- regarding the use of the MP API. It is recommended but not required reading.
-
- Interfaces&Libraries
-
- "Multiprocessing.h" -the universal interface for the MP library. Replaces "MP.h"
- "Multiprocessing API Library" -the multiprocessing library.
-
- These two files are now part of the standard installation of Universal Interfaces 3.2 and higher.
- Developers using environments older than Universal Interfaces 3.2 or environments that do not
- provide these files will need to install these.
-
- Even if these files are present in your environment, every developer should be sure to consult the
- MP API FAQs entry: "What is a good way to install the library for development purposes?" for
- further instructions. This entry explains certain steps that are necessary to use MP on uniprocessor
- machines running System 7 and how to correctly set machines up to debug tasks using the
- Metrowerks Debugger (attempting to debug using the default installation will NOT work).
-
- Demo apps:
-
- PowerMacInfo
- CPU meter
-
- Sample Code:
-
- MPHelloWorld
- CloseViewMP
- HappyTrails
- PowerFrax
- SortPictsMP
