What are multi threaded applications examples?

What are some examples of multithreaded applications?

For example, a desktop application providing functionality like editing, printing, etc. is a multithreaded application. In this application, as printing is a background process, we can perform editing documents and printing documents concurrently by assigning these functions to two different threads.

What are multi threads used for?

Multithreading allows the execution of multiple parts of a program at the same time. These parts are known as threads and are lightweight processes available within the process. So multithreading leads to maximum utilization of the CPU by multitasking.

What is a multi-threaded program?

Multithreading specifically refers to the concurrent execution of more than one sequential set (thread) of instructions. Multithreaded programming is programming multiple, concurrent execution threads. These threads could run on a single processor. Or there could be multiple threads running on multiple processor cores.

How can you tell if an application is multi-threaded?

The Windows "Task Manager" only shows processes. (Otherwise you would see a lot of duplicates for everything, since almost all Windows apps are multi-threaded, including Chrome.) To see threads of a process, use Process Explorer or Process Hacker; both of them have a "Threads" tab in the process properties dialog.
