Key Questions Concept Map

What is thread?
What is
multithreading?
How to create thread?

A thread is a: Key Definitions/

Formulas
 Facility to allow multiple activities within a
single process
1. Thread is light weight
 Referred as lightweight process process.
 A thread is a series of executed statements 2. Multithreading is
 Each thread has its own program counter, stack technique that
and local variables allows a program or
 A thread is a nested sequence of method calls
Solved word Problem  Its shares memory, files and per-process state process to execute
A multithreading is: many task
 It is technique that allows a program or process concurrently
to execute many task concurrently.
 It allows process to run its task in parallel mode
on single processor system.
 In multithreading concept several multiple light
weight processes run in a single process by
single processor.
 A multi-threaded program is one that can have
multiple flows of control when executed.
 At some time instance, there may exist multiple
instructions or execution points) that are being
executed in the program
Ex: in a Web browser we may do the following tasks at
the same time:
1. scroll a page,
2. download an applet or image,
3. play sound,
4. print a page.
There are two ways by which we can create thread
a) By extending thread class
b) b runnable interface
Application of Concept/ Examples in real life Link to YouTube/ OER/
video
The most significant benefits of multithreading are:

 Better CPU utilization.

 Simpler program design in some situations.
 More responsive programs.
 More fair division of CPU resources
between different tasks.

Key Take away from this LO3a and LO3: Students should understand concept of multithreads in program.
Students should create thread by extending to thread class and by implementing runnable interface.
