A thread is basically a lightweight process.
Processes do not execute, it is the threads within a process that actually execute. All processes have at least one thread of execution, the main thread. If the main thread falls from scope, the process ends, taking all threads with it. This can lead to undefined behaviour if the threads are not terminated gracefully from within the main thread before it falls from scope.
Thread
A program is an executable. A process is an executable that has been loaded into working memory and is currently executing the program. A thread is a thread of execution within a process. Every process has at least one thread, but threads can spawn additional threads as required to allow concurrent operations to be performed near-simultaneously.
A thread and a process are same but a minor difference is there. Process executes a program completely without splitting whereas a thread splits a program into smaller tasks and then execute them separately.And then combine the final result. that is why a process is often called as Heavy weight and a thread is called as light weight.
No. A thread is a part of a process, but a process can not be part of a thread. Processes are always "at the top."
The same metaphor: the difference of a person (thread) and a family (process) A process has at least 1 thread and may have many threads, while 1 thread must live within a process
Execution context within a process is called Thread. Threads run, process does not. Every process starts with one thread.
yes, because if process is terminated then its related thread has no work. After completion of process the kernel generates a thread that will cancelled the thread in order to save the time and memory of CPU.
A thread is basically a lightweight process.
what process turn the yarn into thread
A thread.
Yes, the thread will also terminate if the process it is running in terminates. The thread is dependent upon the processes it is running. If the processes die the thread dies.
With pthread_create.
Thread is made into cloth by weaving.
A thread is a sub process in other words one process can contain multiple threads.
The process of creating a thread is called "thread spinning." This involves passing fibers through a spinning machine to twist and bind them together to form a continuous strand of thread.
