[EN] With the appearance of multi-/many core machines, applications and runtime systems have evolved in order to exploit the new on-node concurrency brought by new software paradigms. POSIX threads (Pthreads) was widely-adopted for that purpose and it remains as the most used threading solution in current hardware. Lightweight thread (LWT) libraries emerged as an alternative offering lighter mechanisms to tackle the massive concurrency of current hardware. In this article, we analyze in detail the most representative threading libraries including Pthread- and LWT-based solutions. In addition, to examine the suitability of LWTs for different use cases, we develop a set of microbenchmarks consisting of OpenMP patterns commonly found in current parallel codes, and we compare the results using threading libraries and OpenMP implementations. Moreover, we study the semantics offered by threading libraries in order to expose the similarities among different LWT application programming interfaces and their advantages over Pthreads. This article exposes that LWT libraries outperform solutions based on operating system threads when tasks and nested parallelism are required.
