In order to both improve performance and to reduce complexity, many operating system functions are designed and implemented using threads. Essentially, a thread (also known as a lightweight process) is a part of an application that can run autonomously and concurrently with other portions of the application. Operating systems and programming languages generally use either a kernel-level or a user-level approach to threading.
For this Discussion, you will focus on analyzing the use of different types of threads and evaluating circumstances when a certain type is preferable.
To prepare: Research an operating system or a programming language and its support for threading. By Day 3, post a 3- to 4-paragraph analysis on the operating system/programming language you chose, and its support for threading.
Make sure to do the following: Summarize the threading support.
Answer the following questions: Is the threading model based on kernel-level or user-level threads?
What is the most significant advantage of the implementation?
What is the most significant disadvantage of the implementation?
Provide a scenario where this method of threading will provide the best solution and explain why.
