A multi-threaded application is an aplication that runs better on a dual core or quad core processor. The application splits up the tasks for example in a game it might use one core for rendering terrain, and another for sounds or 3d rendering.
The term is "multithreading", and it refers to a program's capacity to do more than one task simultaneously. A typical example can be seen in Microsoft Word, which carries out spell-checking in the background, while the user types. Spell-checking is assigned a low priority; quickly responding to user input has a higher priority. When typing quickly, or pasting a few paragraphs of text, you should normally see the results of the spell-checking after a few seconds.
A multithreaded program is one that has multiple threads in execution. They may execute parallel to one another or totally without relation to one another. In Java you can create multithreaded programs using Java threads.
A write-up of the answer to this question can be found here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693344(VS.85).aspx"There are two types of apartments: single-threaded apartments, and multithreaded apartments. * Single-threaded Apartments-Single-threaded apartments consist of exactly one thread, so all COM objects that live in a single-threaded apartment can receive method calls only from the one thread that belongs to that apartment. All method calls to a COM object in a single-threaded apartment are synchronized with the windows message queue for the single-threaded apartment's thread. A process with a single thread of execution is simply a special case of this model.* Multithreaded Apartments-Multithreaded apartments consist of one or more threads, so all COM objects that live in an multithreaded apartment can receive method calls directly from any of the threads that belong to the multithreaded apartment. Threads in a multithreaded apartment use a model called free-threading. Calls to COM objects in a multithreaded apartment are synchronized by the objects themselves."

A Program in Java that spawns multiple threads is called a multithreaded program in Java.
multithreaded
Java is called multithreaded because it allows the programmer to define multiple threads of execution manually. The main program would continue to execute as one thread and we can speed up the processing by declaring individual threads. Threads in Java can be created in two ways: 1. By extending the Thread class & 2. By implementing the Runnable interface
lMultithreading an interactive application may allow a program to continue running even if part of it is blocked. For instance, a multithreaded web browser could still allow user interaction in one thread while an image was being loaded in another thread.

Yes but there is not enough time or enough space here for a full justification of the answer
Use std::packaged_task (preferably) or std::thread to start a new thread. Use std::future (preferred), std::mutex or std::atomic to share information between threads.
A single threaded application is one that has only one thread of execution running at any given point of time. Whereas a multi-threaded application can have multiple threads of executing running simultaneously. Generally in enterprise applications, we need to fetch and load a lot of data before the system starts or initializes. In such cases, we typically spawn multiple threads and let the load operations run in parallel to save time. Lets say you need to fetch 10 different sets of data each of which will run for approximately 1 minute, if you run them all in sequence one by one, your system will load only after 10 minutes. But, if you spawn 10 threads, the system might load in around 2 minutes which is much faster than the single threaded time.
its basicly the same, but without L3, lower speeds
