Threads in Operating System

A thread is a single sequential flow of execution of tasks of a process

so it is also known as thread of execution or thread of control. There
is a way of thread execution inside the process of any operating
system. Apart from this, there can be more than one thread inside a
process. Each thread of the same process makes use of a separate
program counter and a stack of activation records and control blocks.
Thread is often referred to as a lightweight process.

The process can be split down into so many threads. For example, in

a browser, many tabs can be viewed as threads. MS Word uses many
threads - formatting text from one thread, processing input from
another thread, etc.
Need of Thread

o It takes far less time to create a new thread in an existing

process than to create a new process.
o Threads can share the common data, they do not need to
use Inter- Process communication.
o Context switching is faster when working with threads.
o It takes less time to terminate a thread than a process.

Types of Threads

In the operating system, there are two types of threads.

1. Kernel level thread.
2. User-level thread.
User-level thread

The operating system does not recognize the user-level thread. User

threads can be easily implemented and it is implemented by the user.
If a user performs a user-level thread blocking operation, the whole
process is blocked. The kernel level thread does not know nothing
about the user level thread. The kernel-level thread manages user-
level threads as if they are single-threaded processes?
examples: Java thread, POSIX threads, etc.
Advantages of User-level threads
1. The user threads can be easily implemented than the kernel
thread.
2. User-level threads can be applied to such types of operating
systems that do not support threads at the kernel-level.
3. It is faster and efficient.
4. Context switch time is shorter than the kernel-level threads.
5. It does not require modifications of the operating system.
6. User-level threads representation is very simple. The register,
PC, stack, and mini thread control blocks are stored in the
address space of the user-level process.
7. It is simple to create, switch, and synchronize threads without
the intervention of the process.

Disadvantages of User-level threads

1. User-level threads lack coordination between the thread and the
kernel.
2. If a thread causes a page fault, the entire process is blocked.
Kernel level thread
The kernel thread recognizes the operating system. There is a thread
control block and process control block in the system for each thread
and process in the kernel-level thread. The kernel-level thread is
implemented by the operating system. The kernel knows about all the
threads and manages them. The kernel-level thread offers a system
call to create and manage the threads from user-space. The
implementation of kernel threads is more difficult than the user
thread. Context switch time is longer in the kernel thread. If a kernel
thread performs a blocking operation, the Banky thread execution can
continue. Example: Window Solaris.
Advantages of Kernel-level threads
1. The kernel-level thread is fully aware of all threads.
2. The scheduler may decide to spend more CPU time in the
process of threads being large numerical.
3. The kernel-level thread is good for those applications that block
the frequency.

Disadvantages of Kernel-level threads

1. The kernel thread manages and schedules all threads.
2. The implementation of kernel threads is difficult than the user
thread.
3. The kernel-level thread is slower than user-level threads.
Components of Threads

Any thread has the following components.

1. Program counter
2. Register set
3. Stack space
Benefits of Threads

o Enhanced throughput of the system: When the process is split

into many threads, and each thread is treated as a job, the
number of jobs done in the unit time increases. That is why the
throughput of the system also increases.
o Effective Utilization of Multiprocessor system: When you
have more than one thread in one process, you can schedule
more than one thread in more than one processor.
o Faster context switch: The context switching period between
threads is less than the process context switching. The process
context switch means more overhead for the CPU.
o Responsiveness: When the process is split into several threads,
and when a thread completes its execution, that process can be
responded to as soon as possible.
o Communication: Multiple-thread communication is simple
because the threads share the same address space, while in
process, we adopt just a few exclusive communication strategies
for communication between two processes.
o Resource sharing: Resources can be shared between all threads
within a process, such as code, data, and files. Note: The stack
and register cannot be shared between threads. There is a stack
and register for each thread.
