The thread machine was invented by James Hargreaves. When it first started out a thread machine could spin around eight threads but after a while it got up about 120 threads at one time.

What is the difference between process and thread in net?

A process is a collection of threads that share the same virtual memory. A process has at least one thread of execution, and a thread always run in a process context. Thread is used to allocate and distribute the CPU work scheduling, many programs a re assigned to different threads and they are most of the time independent of each other. Eg: We can open many instance of MS word and MS Excel in our PC, all are monitored and managed by threads. Process is nothing but a program in execution, many threads can run under a process or many thread can combined under the one thread.

What do you mean by overhead in process and why do threads dont have overhead?

Process has it's own address space while threads are using process's address space when process is switching from one to another it will save process data during that time no productive work will done by cpu, while threads are using process's data so it can directly switch from one thread to other that's why processes have overhead when they are switching from one to other while threads doesn't have overhead.

How many threads can be executed on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor simultaneously?

OK. How about an INTELLIGENT answer???? Would be nice, right? First, the difference between hardware and software threads. A hardware thread refers to a physical processor's ability to run a software thread. A software thread is part of your code that you execute in a thread. That is to say, if a processor can handle two hardware threads, that means the processor can simultaneously run up to two software threads at a time. Hardware threads means physical resources. Software threads are created by your program. Regardless of how many software threads your program defines, the processor that provides two hardware threads can only execute two of them concurrently. Now, I am having big problems finding out how many hardware threads a single processor can run. In graduate school, all of the processors we modeled provided two hardware threads. If this is always true, then the Core 2 Duo sounds like it provides 4 hardware threads. Your program can create pretty much any number of software threads, but at any given time there should be no more than 4 on the chip itself. I will see if I can ask someone from the university to get a good answer and will modify my answer if I find anything out. Either way, my answer completely trumps the one that was previously posted here.
