egyszálas

Egyszálas is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "single-threaded" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of computer programming and software development to describe a process or application that executes instructions sequentially, one at a time. In a single-threaded environment, only one task can be performed at any given moment. If a program is single-threaded, it means its main execution flow consists of a single sequence of operations. This can be contrasted with multi-threaded or parallel processing, where multiple threads of execution can run concurrently or in parallel, allowing for more complex operations or improved performance on multi-core processors. Understanding whether a program is single-threaded or multi-threaded is important for developers when considering performance optimization, responsiveness, and potential issues like deadlocks or race conditions. Many simpler applications or older programs were designed as single-threaded.
