About threads & processes

• Operating System: Threads and Concurrency (Akhand Mishra)

• A process can create, and for instance, contain threads.

• The threads of a process are part of the same virtual address space. It implies they share:

  • data

  • code

  • file.

• However, each thread has its own:

  • stack,

  • stack pointer register

  • Program Counter

  • registers.
