POSIX Threads (pthreads)~\cite{OpenGroup1997pthreads},

+\item[Java:] This general purpose and inherently multithreaded
programming environment is widely believed to offer much higher
productivity than C or C++, courtesy of the automatic garbage collector
and the rich set of class libraries.
However, its performance, though greatly improved in the early
2000s, lags that of C and C++.

In theory, it is general purpose, but it is mainly used
for scientific and technical computing.
Its productivity is believed by many to be even lower than that
of C/C++ ``locking plus threads'' environments.

+\item[OpenMP:] This set of compiler directives can be used
to parallelize loops. It is thus quite specific to this
