Advantages and
Inconveniences of KLT
ä Advantages
ä the kernel can
simultaneously
schedule many threads
of the same process on
many processors
ä blocking is done on a
thread level
ä kernel routines can be
multithreaded
ä Inconveniences
ä thread switching
within the same
process involves the
kernel. We have 2
mode switches per
thread switch
ä this results in a
significant slow
down
