Answer Posted / kiran kumar yakkala
process-independent flow of control,created by fork
(),copies the address space of parent process(all the
contents of parent process i.e data,text,bss ..),resources
are too many, scheduled by system scheduler(cpu)
thread-independent flow of control,created by pthread or
kthreads, resources are less(just pid,ppid,own stack..)so
thats why light weight process, scheduled by thread library
which you are using (ex. pthread , kthread).
usually process can have any no of threads
but threads cannot have process( general rule).
