In this lecture Introduction to threads

Why threads? Word editor Reformatting Searching Auto saving

Threads The smallest “control unit” A process could have multiple threads Multiple threads in the same address space Each thread has its own stack, register values All threads within a process share the same text, heap, and static data segments

Why not use multiple processes? Process creation expensive Each process needs memory, lots of state

Processes vs. Threads Process 1 Process 2 Process 3 Speaking of processes, what is the difference between two single-threaded processes and one two-threaded process? First of all, if one process already exists, it is much cheaper (by a factor of up to at least a thousand, depending on the OS and architecture) to create another thread in the existing process than to create a new process. Switching between the contexts of two threads in the same process is also often cheaper than switching between the contexts of two threads in different processes. Finally, two threads in one process share everything—both address space and open files; the two can communicate without having to copy data. Though two different processes can share memory in modern Unix systems, the most common forms of interprocess communication are far more expensive. Copyright © 2002 Thomas W. Doeppner.

Processes vs. Threads Creating a new thread 100 times cheaper than creating a new process Switching between two threads also cheaper Thread = “Lightweight process”

Thread Model Private to a thread. Shared by all threads within a process. Private to a thread.

Single Threaded Web Server Disk webpages requests

Multi Threaded Web Server Disk dispatcher Many workers

Pseudocode with Threads Dispatcher While (1) { get_request(&req); start_new_worker(req); } Worker Worker_thread(req) { fetch_webpage(req,&page); return_page(req, page); }
