Advantages of Thread Thread minimizes context switching time. Use of threads provides concurrency within a process. Efficient communication. Economy- It is more economical to create and context switch threads. Utilization of multiprocessor architectures to a greater scale and efficiency. TUTORIALS POINT Simply Easy Learning Page 39
Types of Thread Threads are implemented in following two ways User Level Threads -- User managed threads Kernel Level Threads -- <strong>Operating</strong> <strong>System</strong> managed threads acting on kernel, an operating system core. User Level Threads In this case, application manages thread management kernel is not aware of the existence of threads. The thread library contains code for creating and destroying threads, for passing message and data between threads, for scheduling thread execution and for saving and restoring thread contexts. The application begins with a single thread and begins running in that thread. Advantages Thread switching does not require Kernel mode privileges. User level thread can run on any operating system. Scheduling can be application specific in the user level thread. User level threads are fast to create and manage. Disadvantages In a typical operating system, most system calls are blocking. Multithreaded application cannot take advantage of multiprocessing. TUTORIALS POINT Simply Easy Learning Page 40
