  2. Win32 Thread Information Block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win32_Thread_Information_Block

    The Thread Information Block (TIB) or Thread Environment Block (TEB) is a data structure in Win32 on x86 that stores information about the currently running thread. It descended from, and is backward-compatible on 32-bit systems with, a similar structure in OS/2. [1] The TIB is officially undocumented for Windows 9x.

    A process with two threads of execution, running on one processor Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system. [1]

  5. Thread-local storage - Wikipedia

    In C11, <threads.h> also defines a number of functions for retrieving, changing, and destructing a thread-local storage, using names starting with tss_. In C23, thread_local itself becomes a keyword. [2] C++11 introduces the thread_local [3] keyword which can be used in the following cases Namespace level (global) variables; File static variables

  6. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    Depending on the OS, a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently. [1] [2] While a computer program is a passive collection of instructions typically stored in a file on disk, a process is the execution of those instructions after being loaded from the disk into memory. Several processes may ...

  7. Handle (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handle_(computing)

    The FILE data structure in the C standard I/O library is a file handle, abstracting from the underlying file representation (on Unix these are file descriptors). Like other desktop environments, the Windows API heavily uses handles to represent objects in the system and to provide a communication pathway between the operating system and user space.

  8. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

    In Windows NT operating systems, the System Idle Process contains one or more kernel threads which run when no other runnable thread can be scheduled on a CPU. In a multiprocessor system, there is one idle thread associated with each CPU core. For a system with hyperthreading enabled, there is an idle thread for each logical processor.
