What is the difference between a 'thread' and a 'process'?..

Answer / swaroopa

Process is a program in execution whereas thread is a
separate path of execution in a program. Process & Thread
share almost all datastructure except (thread has it's own
register & stack area). Process is a program under
execution,but thread is a light weight process which has
seperate way of execution.Threads are part of
process.Single process can contain number of threads at a
time.

A process is a collection of virtual memory space, code,
data, and system resources.

All thread with in a process share process
instruction,code & data segment,open file descriptor,signal
handler,userID and GroupID.

Thread has its own set of register including program
counter,stack pointer

What is the difference between a 'thread' and a 'process'?..

Answer / seshadri sethi

A process is a collection of virtual memory space, code,
data, and system resources. A thread is code that is to be
serially executed within a process. A processor executes
threads, not processes, so each application has at least one
process, and a process always has at least one thread of
execution, known as the primary thread. A process can have
multiple threads in addition to the primary thread

Thread – is stream of executable code within process. They
are light weight process. All thread with in a process
share process instruction,code & data segment,open file
descriptor,signal handler,userID and GroupID. Thread has its
own set of register including program counter,stack pointer
