What is a Thread? | Threads, Process, Program, Parallelism and Scheduler Explained | Geekific

If you’re into programming, you may for sure have heard the term Thread or Threading in relation to a computer program, but you weren’t exactly sure what it meant. How about Process? or Program? You likely understand that a thread is somehow related to a program or a process, but maybe, that’s as far as your understanding goes. In this video we explain what a thread is, and make sure that all the questions you may have surrounding this topic are answered.

I've always been confused about the differences between threads and processes, and I've watched many videos attempting to explain it. However, this particular video was the first one that helped me truly understand the distinction. Thank you so much for providing such a clear explanation !

0:40 finally someone who gets their audio volume levels right. (loud enough for voice & dialog; & equal or bit lower for intho music)

[laumatthew]

The examples used to illustrate the concepts are really well-chosen. Thank you sir !

This video should get more views. absolutely top one. the information visualization and topics covered in a same story line helped me understand the whole process.
Next, I am going to learn how the thread, scheduler are implemented in low level coding.

X in longer a hypothetical company lol

A good analogy can make all the difference - and this guy really lit things up for me. Thank you!

Amazing video, best one I’ve seen about threading! Thank you!!!

[IqraKhan-loch]

thanks alot this is video is also covering the topic of thread level parallelism

[LuidjiBerrita]

bro the less thing that i can say is, that's amazing, thank you so much

[josephemmanuel]

The analogies used are top notch. Really broke it down

[andrejtrozic]

Nice video, but I really have some questions..

So when program loads from some disk-space into RAM and it becomes executable and we say it becomes a process? -y/n
The program in its running state is called process? -y/n
Process is something like a company and threads are its employees, so the threads are processes workers? -y/n

[TrusePkay]

The hierarchy is

• Operating System
• Processes - Main process and child processes
• Threads - Main thread and other threads
• Tasks - Subroutines and Coroutines

A program is a collection of module(s) having one and only one entry point.

QUESTION:

Scenario 1:
I have open google chrome browser.
A single instance of google chrome is loaded into memory. Which is called [1 proces] of google chrome right?

Scenario 2:
I have open google chrome twice. So two instances of google chrome loaded into memory. Which are called [2 process] of google chrome right?

Scenario 3:
Consider [Scenario 1]. I have one tab open which is by default. So I have [1 process] within a process according to your expectation?

Scenario 4:
Consider [Scenario 1] again. I have open two tab open. So I have [2 processes] within a process according to your expectations?

I am confused please reply.🙏
