Programtråder
Programtråder, often referred to as threads, are the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler. In modern operating systems, threads allow a single process to perform multiple tasks concurrently. A process can be thought of as a program in execution, and it typically consists of at least one thread.
Threads within the same process share the same memory space, including code, data, and open files. This
Creating and managing threads is generally less resource-intensive than creating new processes. This is because threads
Common uses for threads include improving application responsiveness, such as keeping a user interface active while
Thread synchronization mechanisms, such as mutexes, semaphores, and condition variables, are essential for coordinating thread activities
