I have a Core i3 processor. In my task manager under performance tab, it shows thread 566 and the process is 52. I think process is the program which is currently running but I don't know about thread .
Can any one clear me this two thing?
What is the difference between Process vs Thread
Hi Maicle,
There is a huge difference between these two and it is described in a bulleted form below to fix your problem:
-
Basically threads and processes posses their liberalization for execution.
-
Threads are supported by shared memory while processes are with separate space of memory.
-
Thread is a child of processes means that processes is a big part and may be consist of many threads. So processes are the parent for threads.
-
Processes have their own addresses and threads do not have its own but it share their address by processes.
-
Processes possess a part which is their own for data segments while for the segmentation of data there is a link of threads with processes.
-
Linkage between two threads id direct where as processes must have inter communication process for the linkage with others.
-
For making new process there is a need of a previous copy while there is no any copy or duplication required to making up a new thread.
-
Processes have command on their lower level processes only while threads have overall commands on each other no doubt its parent or a child.

What is the difference between Process vs Thread
Process
Each and every process has provides you the resources which you require to execute some of your program. A process must have an address space which is virtual and have a code which is executable, to check that:
Â
open the handles in system objects
-
security content
-
Identifier of unique process
-
Variables of environment
-
priority class
-
Working the set sizes.
Every process has at least a single thread, but we can also create additional threads.
Â
Thread
Â
Thread is the part of process which can be modified for execution. Every threads in a process has to share the virtual address space and other functions. The thread context has the kernel stack, and other relevant tasks.
