In a multi-threaded programming environment, threads share the same memory space and resources of the program, allowing them to run concurrently and interact with each other.

Do threads share the heap in a multi-threaded environment?

In a multi-threaded environment, threads can share the heap, which is a common area of memory where dynamic memory allocation occurs. This allows threads to access and manipulate shared data stored in the heap. However, it is important to implement proper synchronization mechanisms to prevent data corruption and ensure thread safety.


Do threads share memory?

No, threads do not share memory. Each thread in a program has its own stack memory for storing local variables and function calls. However, threads within the same process can share memory through shared data structures or variables.


Do threads share global variables?

No, threads do not share global variables by default. Each thread has its own copy of global variables, which means changes made to global variables in one thread do not affect the values in other threads.


List reasons why a Mode switch between threads may be cheaper than a Mode switch between processes?

Answer# 11. reason - the control blocks for processes are larger than for threads (hold more state information), so the amount of information to move during the thread switching is less than for process context switching 2. reason - the major reason is that the memory management is much simpler for threads than for processes. Threads share their memory so during mode switching, memory information does not have to be exchanged/changed, pages and page tables do not have to be switched, etc. This makes the thread context switch much cheaper than for processes. In case of processes the memory pieces (pages) need to be exchanged, etc. (Will talk about the details in few weeks). 3. reason - threads do not have to worry about accounting, etc, so do not have to fill out all the information about accounting and other process specific information in their thread control block, so keeping the thread control block consistent is much faster 4. reason - threads share files, so when mode switch happens in threads, these information stay the same and threads do not have to worry about it (similar to accounting information) and that makes the mode switch much faster.answer 2## Process :Generally heavy weight by, the PCB holds kernel objects the values generally referred as state information. A application can be divided into two types in design phase: 1.Process - may affect application/program architecture 2.Threads - didn't affect architecture Threads typically are spawned for a short-term benefit where as process for long-term even the thread share its own process address space is never larger than 4GB. A single process may hold "n" threads so exchanging value between process; then the CPU spend most of its time for swapping it leads to thrasing definitely. Threads easily exchange their locale variables within its scope but exchange value between process stolen more CPU cycles.


Why cant a single computer processor execute two or more programs simultaneously?

In simple terms a single processor can only process one machine instruction at a time; it's just not possible to execute two or more instructions simultaneously and therefore not possible to execute 2 programs simultaneously. However, it's not quite as simple as that because a modern processor can have 2 or more cores, in which case it is possible to execute 2 or more instructions simultaneously. However, that's not quite the same thing as executing 2 programs simultaneously as we invariably execute far more threads of execution than we have cores available. Note that a program consists of one or more processes and a process consists of one or more threads of execution. Although it is theoretically possible to execute two threads simultaneously upon two cores, when those cores share the same processor they also share the same L2 cache and that's really only beneficial when both threads share the same process. With 2 independent processors there's a better chance of simultaneous program execution, however it's nigh on impossible to guarantee this unless the system is specifically designed for that purpose. In a multi-processing, multi-threaded environment, task-switching makes it next to impossible for any two independent programs to execute simultaneously because every thread has to yield to waiting threads.

How do you write Multithreaded applications using C plus plus?

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.

Is internet programming really different from other programming paradigms?

By definition, each "programming paradigm" is different from every other one, but they all share some common features and attributes. Most have at least a lexicon, syntax rules, and variables.


What is the difference between processes and threads?

The memory space, where a given application is executed is called - process. A Process is the memory set aside for an application to be executed in. Within this process the thing, which is really executed is the thread. The key difference is that processes are fully isolated from each other; threads share (heap) memory with other threads running in the same application. Threads share the address space of the process that created it; processes have their own address. Threads have direct access to the data segment of its process; processes have their own copy of the data segment of the parent process. Threads can directly communicate with other threads of its process; processes must use inter-process communication to communicate with sibling processes. Threads have almost no overhead; processes have considerable overhead. New threads are easily created; new processes require duplication of the parent process. Threads can exercise considerable control over threads of the same process; processes can only exercise control over child processes.
