On the Windows family of operating systems, one can get the current process's ID using the GetCurrentProcessId() function of the Windows API, [11] and ID of other processes using GetProcessId(). [12] Internally, process ID is called a client ID , and is allocated from the same namespace as thread IDs, so these two never overlap.
The TCB is "the manifestation of a thread in an operating system." Each thread has a thread control block. An operating system keeps track of the thread control blocks in kernel memory. [2] An example of information contained within a TCB is: Thread Identifier: Unique id (tid) is assigned to every new thread
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]
The event dispatching thread (EDT) is a background thread used in Java to process events from the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) graphical user interface event queue. It is an example of the generic concept of event-driven programming , that is popular in many other contexts than Java, for example, web browsers , or web servers .
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.
Each thread can be scheduled [5] on a different CPU core [6] or use time-slicing on a single hardware processor, or time-slicing on many hardware processors. There is no general solution to how Java threads are mapped to native OS threads. Every JVM implementation can do this differently. Each thread is associated with an instance of the class ...

Many programming languages, including Java [3] and C#, [4] have built-in support for retrieving the current stack trace via system calls. Before std::stacktrace was added in standard library as a container for std::stacktrace_entry , pre- C++23 has no built-in support for doing this, but C++ users can retrieve stack traces with (for example ...
