I'm new to multi-threading and have limited understanding of parallel processing (although I did take a module on it at university, but I've forgotten it all, because I've not used it). I know that a piece of code that is thread-safe isn't necessarily parallel-safe.

Anyhow, are there any equivalent style books to Effective C++ / Exceptional C++ for the parallel programming world? Any good online tutorials, or pages that discuss the do's and don'ts of multi-threading and parallel programming?

It's another one of those "black magic" windows topics. Nothing like getting your feet wet with a good deadlock or two... :)
