What type of application supports multiple threads of execution?

Multithreaded applications have multiple threads executing in a shared address space. Threads are "lightweight" subprocesses that execute within a process. They share code and data segments, but have their own program counters, machine registers and stack.

Can we use multithreading in web applications?
