		Threads are essential to Java programming, but learning to use them effectively is a nontrivial task.
		When a method is declared synchronized, the thread that wants to execute it must acquire a token, which we call a lock (...) Only one thread can grab a lock at a time (...) Upon completion of the method, the lock is automatically released.
		Sure, the thread topic is not for beginners, but since every program is going to use threads whether you want it or not, any self-respecting programmer should have a good knowledge of threads.

	Threads
		The threads are scheduled onto the single kernel scheduled entity (the process) by the run-time library according to the scheduling attributes of the threads.
		The threads are scheduled onto processors by the kernel according to the scheduling attributes of the threads.
		A thread that becomes the owner of a mutex is said to have acquired the mutex and the mutex is said to have become locked; when a thread gives up ownership of a mutex it is said to have released the mutex and the mutex is said to have become unlocked.

	Threads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Threads was a 1984 BBC television docu-drama film depicting a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom and its aftermath.
		Threads was first broadcast on BBC television in 1984 and then again in 1985 as part of a week of programmes marking the fortieth anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
		Threads was originally released by BBC Video on VHS in 1987 (catalogue number BBCV4071) in the UK but soon went out of print and became a much sought-after item in the 1990s.

	Thread (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An unrelated use of the term thread is for threaded code, which is a form of code consisting entirely of subroutine calls, written without the subroutine call instruction, and processed by an interpreter or the CPU.
		Threads are distinguished from traditional multi-tasking operating system processes in that processes are typically independent, carry considerable state information, have separate address spaces, and interact only through system-provided inter-process communication mechanisms.
		Threads are used, for example, to enable a program to render its graphical user interface while waiting for input from the user or performing a task like spell checking.

		Threads isn't about a partial nuclear strike or an accident or a single bomb on Sheffield, it's about all-out thermonuclear war in the multi-megaton range across all the UK and, we are left to support, the northern hemisphere.
		Threads itself was very popular, in the 'lots of people watched it' sense, not in the 'lots of people took it to their hearts' sense.
		Threads remained a cult, however, and the generation who had been children in 1984 are now consumers, and thus the film was re-released on DVD in mid-2001.

	Java(TM) and Solaris(TM) Threading
		Green threads are simulated threads within the VM and were used prior to going to a native OS threading model in 1.2 and beyond.
		Green threads may have had an advantage on Linux at one point (since you don't have to spawn a process for each native thread), but VM technology has advanced significantly since version 1.1 and any benefit green threads had in the past is erased by the performance increases over the years.
		Moving to a one-to-one model via bound threads, which you might expect to be the same as LWP synchronization since we have a 1:1 ratio between LWPs and Solaris Threads, showed a decrease of over 80% (worst case).

	Linux Tutorial: POSIX Threads
		Threads require less overhead than "forking" or spawning a new process because the system does not initialize a new system virtual memory space and environment for the process.
		A condition variable must always be associated with a mutex to avoid a race condition created by one thread preparing to wait and another thread which may signal the condition before the first thread actually waits on it resulting in a deadlock.
		If the first pthread_mutex_lock is applied and the second pthread_mutex_lock fails due to another thread applying a mutex, the first mutex may eventually lock all other threads from accessing data including the thread which holds the second mutex.

	Threads (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The current thread is defined as the flow of execution invoked by the most recent hotkey, timed subroutine, custom menu item, or GUI event.
		When resumed, a thread's settings for things such as ErrorLevel and SendMode are automatically restored to what they were just prior to its interruption; in other words, a thread will experience no side-effects from having been interrupted (except for a possible change in the active window).
		This is achieved by launching a new thread (via hotkey, timed subroutine, custom menu item, etc.) while a prior thread already has a dialog displayed.

	Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Certain thread operations (such as stopping or killing a thread, sleeping in the current thread, or raising an exception) may cause a thread to be scheduled even when in a critical section.
		Other threads may choose to wait in line for the lock to become available, or may simply choose to get an immediate error indicating that the lock is not available.
		If your thread goes to sleep waiting for this resource, it is possible that no other thread will be able to release the resource because it cannot enter the critical section---the original process still has it locked.

	POSIX threads
		Before threads, the normal way to achieve multiple instruction sequences (ie, doing several things at once, in parallel) was to use the fork() and exec() system calls to create several processes -- each being a single thread of execution.
		Each thread sees the same global data and files; however, each thread has its own stack and registers (so that variables in the automatic and register storage classes are private).
		Since the threads wake up from pthread_cond_wait() one at a time, it is necessary to restrict access to the gate until all the newly awakened threads actually leave the gate (so that ngate==0 and the incoming thread does the right thing at the if in line 99).

		A context switch is the action of switching a CPU between executing one thread and another, transferring from one to the other.
		A lightweight process (also known in some implementations, confusingly, as a kernel thread) is a schedulable entity that the kernel is aware of.
		The number of executing threads depends on the number of CPUs in the system, and also on how the threading subsystem is implemented.

	Linux Threads Home Page
		Kernel-level threads often are implemented in the kernel using several tables (each task gets a table of threads).
		Traditionally, a thread was just a CPU (and some other minimal state) state with the process containing the remains (data, stack, I/O, signals).
		Each thread can be accessed or signaled individually -or- the whole task could be addressed with 0x00001234 (note that the first four digits are zero masking the TIDs).

		Especially bad is, that due to the concurrent nature of threads no assumptions on the order of execution of different threads can be done unless explicitly forced by the programmer through synchronization primitives.
		Due to thread lifetime checks, this function has an execution complexity which is quadratic in the number of existing threads.
		Threads can thereby obtain and set a pointer, which is private to the current thread.

		Scripted by Barry Hines (author of the novel on which Ken Loach's Kes was based) and directed by Mick Jackson (who later went to Hollywood with The Bodyguard and Volcano), at the time Threads seemed like a response to the American TV movie The Day After although it stands nobly on its own.
		Grim in a particularly 1980s way, this is a compulsive if uncomfortable watch and accomplishes a great deal without the distraction of spectacle, picking through all the melted milk bottles and firing squad traffic wardens to find the human horror at the heart of it all.

		All threads run in the same address space of the server application, but each thread has it's own individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable.
		The thread scheduling itself is done in a cooperative way, i.e., the threads are managed by a priority- and event-based non-preemptive scheduler.
		The event facility allows threads to wait until various types of events occur, including pending I/O on filedescriptors, asynchronous signals, elapsed timers, pending I/O on message ports, thread and process termination, and even customized callback functions.
