suoritussäikeellä
A suoritussäie, often translated as execution thread or simply thread, is a fundamental concept in computer science related to multitasking and concurrency. It represents a single sequence of execution within a process. A process can have multiple threads, allowing it to perform several tasks seemingly simultaneously. Each thread within a process shares the same memory space and resources, such as open files and network connections. This sharing of resources makes threads more lightweight and efficient than separate processes, which have their own independent memory spaces.
Threads are essential for modern software applications that need to remain responsive while performing background operations.
