Just knowing what a thread does should already make it quite clear what its advantages are. In programming, multithreading means the capability of running multiple threads, or instruction sequences, at the same time. A thread is simply a sequence of instructions, but the language is designed in such as way that other threads can work at the same time.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of user level threads and kernel level threads?
- USER LEVEL THREADS Aadvantages: · User-level threads can be implemented on operating system that does not support threads. · Implementing user-level threads does not require modification of operating system where everything is managed by the thread library · Simple representation which the thread is represented by a the thread ID, program counter, register, stack , all stored in user process address space · Simple management where creating new threads, switching threads and synchronization between threads can be done without intervention of the kernel · Fast and efficient where switching thread is much more inexpensive compared to a system call - Disadvantages: · There is a lack of coordination between threads and operating system kernel. A process gets one time slice no matter it has 1 thread or 10000 threads within it. It is up to the thread itself to give up the control to other threads · If one thread made a blocking system call, the entire process can be blocked in the kernel, even if other threads in the same process are in the ready state KERNEL LEVEL THREAD: - Advantages: · Because kernel has the full knowledge of all the threads, scheduler may decide to allocate more time to a process having large number of threads than process having small number of thread, where the kernel threads come useful for intense application - Disadvantages: · Kernel level threads are slow and inefficient, since kernel must manage and schedule all the threads as well as the processes. It requires a full TCB for each thread to maintain information about threads, which results in increasing of overheads and kernel complexity
What are the advantages of threads in Operating System?
In simple terms, they allow you to multitask better, meaning run multiple programs without experiencing a major decrease in performance.
Are NPT pipe threads compatible with NPSM threads?
No, NPT threads are not compatible with NPSM threads. A pipe with NPT threads tapers slightly, while an NPSM-threaded pipe does not taper.
