+ <h2>Multi-threading support in deal.II</h2>
+ <h3>Wolfgang Bangerth, March 2000</h3>
+</center>
+
+<DIR>
+ In this report, we describe the implementational techniques of
+ multi-threading support in deal.II, which we use for the
+ parallelization of independent operations. Writing threaded programs in
+ C++ is obstructed by two problems: operating system dependent
+ interfaces and that these interfaces are created for C programs
+ rather than for C++. We present our solutions to these problems and
+ describe first experiences using multi-threading in deal.II.
