1. About: This is a simple multithreaded server demo. Included is source code for client and server. Multiple clients can run on localhost and connect simultaneously to a server hosted on localhost. The demo demonstrates how to use concepts such as sockets, TCP/IP protocols, p_threads, mutex and conditional variables to program a multithreaded server.

2. Requirements:

• Ubuntu 18.04

• GCC 7.04

3. Folder structure: src

   /server/server.cpp

   /client/client.cpp

   /utilities/utils.h

   /utilities/myqueue.h

   README.md

4. To build:

• Client: navigate to client directory and use the following command: gcc -o client client.cpp
• Server: navigate to server directory and use the following command: gcc -pthread -o server server.cpp -lstdc++

5. To run:

• Client: in a separate terminal, use the following command: ./client localhost
• Server: in a separate terminal, use the following command: ./server
