Which is better a multi process process or multi threaded process?
Multiprocessing improves the reliability of the system while in the multithreading process, each thread runs parallel to each other. Multiprocessing helps you to increase computing power whereas multithreading helps you create computing threads of a single process.
Should I use multi threading?
You should use multithreading when you want to perform heavy operations without “blocking” the flow. Example in UIs where you do a heavy processing in a background thread but the UI is still active.
Why is the World Wide Web multi threaded?
As a World-Wide Web client is expected to use much of the execution time doing I/O operation such as “connect” and “read”, a high degree of optimization can be obtained if multiple threads can run at the same time. A multi-process environment requires an extensive support from the underlying operating system.
Why do we need a multi threaded client?
Any combination of a multi-process or multi-threaded implementation of the library makes provision for the user of the client application to request several independent documents at the same time without getting blocked by slow I/O operations.
What’s the difference between multi core and multi threading?
Other than that, running multiple processes and running multiple threads are mostly the same thing: after each timeslice, the OS scheduler determines the next thread to run for each CPU core, and switches the context to that thread. All threads are not created equal. This seems to be another point of confusion for many people.
What does it mean to have multiple threads at the same time?
And the OS itself also has various background processes running. Multi-threading means running multiple threads at the same time. Generally this term is used when talking about a single process which uses more than one thread. The ‘at the same time’ is as seen from the user’s perspective.
