Unfortunately sem_post doesn't support multiple posts at once. SYSV IPC sems do, I believe, but they may have higher overhead. You might also check out 'man pthread_cond_init'. A condition variable isn't quite a semaphore, but does support launching multiple threads with one signal.

sem_post
SEM_POST(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SEM_POST(3)
NAME
sem_post - unlock a semaphore
SYNOPSIS
#include <semaphore.h>
int sem_post(sem_t *sem);
Link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
sem_post() increments (unlocks) the semaphore pointed to by sem. If the semaphore's value consequently becomes greater than zero, then
another process or thread blocked in a sem_wait(3) call will be woken up and proceed to lock the semaphore.
RETURN VALUE
sem_post() returns 0 on success; on error, the value of the semaphore is left unchanged, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
EINVAL sem is not a valid semaphore.
EOVERFLOW
The maximum allowable value for a semaphore would be exceeded.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
