Intel Inspector (previously known as Intel Thread Checker) is a memory and thread checking and debugging tool to increase the reliability, security, and accuracy of C/C++ and Fortran applications. Reliability: Find deadlocks and memory errors that cause lockups & crashes; Security: Find memory and threading vulnerabilities used by hackers
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.
Thread Control Block (TCB) is a data structure in an operating system kernel that contains thread-specific information needed to manage the thread. [1] 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]
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.
GNU Pth (Portable Threads) is a POSIX/ANSI-C based user space thread library for UNIX platforms that provides priority-based scheduling for multithreading applications. GNU Pth targets for a high degree of portability. It is part of the GNU Project. [1] Pth also provides API emulation for POSIX threads for backward compatibility.
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows for using a Linux environment without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting. WSL is installed by default in Windows 11. [2] In Windows 10, it can be installed either by joining the Windows Insider program or manually via Microsoft Store or Winget. [3]
The Linux p-thread implementation of condition variables guarantees that it will not do that. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Because spurious wakeup can happen, when a thread wakes after waiting on a condition variable, it should always check that the condition it sought is still satisfied.
Components of some Linux desktop environments that are daemons include D-Bus, NetworkManager (here called unetwork), PulseAudio (usound), and Avahi.. In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ ˈ d iː m ən / or / ˈ d eɪ m ən /) [1] is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.
