2. Thread (computing) - Wikipedia

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

   Thread (computing) 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] In many cases, a thread is a component of a process. The multiple threads of a given process may be executed concurrently (via ...

3. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

   Multithreading (computer architecture) For threads in software, see Thread (computing). A process with two threads of execution, running on a single processor. In computer architecture, multithreading is the ability of a central processing unit (CPU) (or a single core in a multi-core processor) to provide multiple threads of execution.

4. Thread pool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

   Thread pool. In computer programming, a thread pool is a software design pattern for achieving concurrency of execution in a computer program. Often also called a replicated workers or worker-crew model, [1] a thread pool maintains multiple threads waiting for tasks to be allocated for concurrent execution by the supervising program. By ...

5. Operating system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

   An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, peripherals, and other ...

6. pthreads - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pthreads

   pthreads. In computing, POSIX Threads, commonly known as pthreads, is an execution model that exists independently from a programming language, as well as a parallel execution model. It allows a program to control multiple different flows of work that overlap in time. Each flow of work is referred to as a thread, and creation and control over ...

7. Explicit multi-threading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_multi-threading

   Explicit Multi-Threading (XMT) is a computer science paradigm for building and programming parallel computers designed around the parallel random-access machine (PRAM) parallel computational model. A more direct explanation of XMT starts with the rudimentary abstraction that made serial computing simple: that any single instruction available ...

8. Fiber (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_(computer_science)

   Fiber (computer science) In computer science, a fiber is a particularly lightweight thread of execution. Like threads, fibers share address space. However, fibers use cooperative multitasking while threads use preemptive multitasking. Threads often depend on the kernel's thread scheduler to preempt a busy thread and resume another thread ...
