Does anyone know of a paper(s) that compare the different threading model of say FBSD, Linux and OpenSolaris, etc. ? As a programmer, I know the basic theory and _effects_ of using threads vs. processes vs. EDA/SEDA, etc., and in fact I use threads in several applications, like Perl Gtk2 and also web-based software using Apache mod_worker and mod_perl. But I haven't stumbled uppon information that does a comparison of the different threading models in the most popular Open Source OSs. I have 'heard' people say the OpenSolaris' threading model is quite different and supposedly better that other *nix=B4s in general, but is that actualy true? Or is that just applied to Java? How would one know especially in Open Source systems where you may have different threading models (like in FBSD uthreads, kse, etc.)?
