The use of multithreaded code
{i} (Computers) breaking a long chain of commands into small units that can be executed simultaneously by applications programs
A situation in which a host adapter has more than one outstanding command to two or more SCSI devices
(n ) A technique that enables multiprocessing applications to run more efficiently by breaking sequences of instructions (threads) into multiple sequences that can be executed from the kernel simultaneously See also asymmetric multiprocessing, symmetric multiprocessing
Allows different parts of a single program to run concurrently
Applications run several different processes called "threads," rather than running as a single monolithic process Especially useful in user interface; for instance, the user can move a window without stopping the movie playing in it BeOS, MacOS X, Limited Windows NT support, Coming soon in MacOS
Within a single program, processing more than one transaction at a time
Use of a process by several transactions
- The ability of an operating system to concurrently run programs that have been divided into subcomponents, or threads Multithreading, when done correctly, offers better utilization of processors and other system resources Multithreaded programming requires a multitasking/multithreading operating system, such as GNU/Linux, Windows NT/2000 or OS/2, capable of running many programs concurrently A word processor can make good use of multithreading, because it can spell check in the foreground while saving to disk and sending output to the system print spooler in the background (Also, see Thread ) N
The capacity of a process to work on multiple requests at once
The ability of an operating system to execute different parts of a program, called threads, simultaneously If the system supports parallel processing, multiple processors may be used to execute the threads
The method by which an operating system is able to run different parts of the same application simultaneously See also Multitasking
Running several processes in rapid sequence within a single program, regardless of which logical method of multitasking is being used by the operating system Because the user's sense of time is much slower than the processing speed of a computer, multitasking appears to be simultaneous, even though only one task at a time can use a computer processing cycle
An operating system feature which allows an appropriately designed program to run several tasks concurrently
A client-server process that enables multiple users to work on the same applications without interfering with each other
Running several computer tasks at the same time
The ability to have more than one task occurring in an application For example, you could have a large spreadsheet calculate values while continuing to use that spreadsheet or print a complicated document while continuing to work on that document OS/2 has multithreading capabilities Applications must be written according to certain specifications in order to multithread
Allowing the concurrent use or two or more threads within an operating system, such as Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 8 2, p132
Process of performing multiple server tasks
having multiple threads in a program perform tasks concurrently
thread based multiprogramming
Multithreading is the ability some Operating Systems have to execute (run) different parts, or threads, of a program simultaneously A program that utilizes multithreading must be carefully programmed so that all the threads can run at one time without interfering with each other Multithreading generally uses reentrant code, which cannot be modified when executing, so that the same code can be shared by multiple programs Think of multithreading as multitasking within a single program
Multithreading is the creation of multiple threads in a single program
