Answer / guest
A thread is an encapsulation of the flow of control in a
program. Most people are used to writing single-threaded
programs - that is, programs that only execute one path
through their code "at a time". Multithreaded programs may
have several threads running through different code
paths "simultaneously".

processor context (which includes the program counter and
stack pointer) and its own data area for a stack (to enable
subroutine branching). Threads are created in a process. A
thread executes sequentially and is interruptable so that
the processor can turn to another thread.
