| ä | Takes
less time to create a new thread |
|||||||||||||
| than a
process |
||||||||||||||
| ä | Less
time to terminate a thread than a |
|||||||||||||
| process |
||||||||||||||
| ä | Less
time to switch between two threads |
|||||||||||||
| within
the same process |
||||||||||||||
| ä | Since
threads within the same process |
|||||||||||||
| share
memory and files, they can |
||||||||||||||
| communicate
with each other without |
||||||||||||||
| invoking
the kernel |
||||||||||||||
| ä | Therefore
necessary to synchronize the |
|||||||||||||
| activities
of various threads so that they |
||||||||||||||
| do
not obtain inconsistent views of the |
||||||||||||||
| data |
