Mutex Synchronization in Linux with Pthreads

Demo of using threads in Linux (pthreads) to run very simple processing in parallel. Uses a mutex (pthread_mutex) to synchronize the processing to avoid a race condition.

Topics:
- Timing the process without using threads (Linux time command)
- Switching processing to new threads
- Running multiple threads without a mutex lock (race condition)
- Solving a race condition
- Timing the multi-threaded version
- Common problem when passing arguments to a thread
- Common problem spotting race conditions
