Porting a multithreaded application from Windows to Linux

This project involves porting the existing Windows version Amazons-playing application, Invader, to the Linux platform. A secondary aim of the port project is to retain concurrent development of the application on the Windows platform. Described are considerations relating to available technologies and the decisions made in the p01ting process. Attention is also given to obstacles encountered in the porting work and implications for best porting practices. Port of the Invader application is motivated by performance of the latest multi threaded search algorithm used in the program under Windows, and efforts at optimization of multi threaded search performance on Linux conclude the discussion
