A lightweight unit of a process. Memory Has its own memory space. Shares memory and resources with other threads. Overhead High (due to separate memory and context info). Low (shares memory, faster context switching). Communication Slower (needs Inter-Process Communication). Faster (via shared memory). Execution Independent execution. Runs as part of a process; multiple threads can run concurrently. Creation Slower to create and manage. Faster and more efficient to create. Crash Impact One process crash usually doesn’t affect others. If one thread crashes, it may crash the entire process. Used For Running independent programs. Performing multitasking within a single program. ]]> CS-405 - Operating Systems Rinki Singh https://www.hacktheforum.com/cs-405-operating-systems/tread-vs-process/#post-19875
