TERM OF THE DAY - "MULTI-THREADING"

Threads refer to the smallest and simplest executable segment a programmed instruction . Threads are independently managed by a scheduler ( typically part of an operating system ) . Any process consists of multiple threads , which share the resources such as memory allocations . Multi-threading enables time-division multiplexing , where the processor switches between various software threads , thereby resulting in  several processes to be simultaneously executed by the operating system .

Multi-threading has several advantages :

1               Multi-threading results in enhanced responsiveness .
2              Faster execution .
3             Optimized use of System variables .
4              Lesser resource intensive .
5             Simplified sharing and parallelism .
