What is Difference between thread and process?
Answer Posted / aahmed
Thread also known as a light weight process is a smaller
unit within a process which can be scheduled and executed
similar to traditional processes. They share the same
resources and memory space since they are both hand in hand
with one another. In contrast to traditional processing
threads reduce overhead time and the amount of information
is needed is also reduced. As a result, the processing
computing stage enhances as they both follow similar wait
and signal states. Unlike traditional processes, each thread
in a process has its own processor registers, program
counter, stack and status. After the process is complete
both thread and traditional processes release its resources.
