Which applications are multi-threaded?

What applications are multithreaded?

A multi-threaded application is an application whose architecture takes advantage of the multi-threading provided by the operating system. Usually, these applications assign specific jobs to individual threads within the process and the threads communicate, through various means, to synchronize their actions.

How do you know if an application is multithreaded?

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.

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.

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.
