Can any-one explain this please. Threading and multi-threading?

Thanks Raghu
 

Thread in HW maybe point to one datapath, and multithread for multidatapath. They are very common in operating system based SW design.
 

A thread is a multitask feature of a program .Is diferent from a process or a task ,Where the operating system has to save the complete status and memory of the program .In a thread very minimum is saved and because of that is more efficient.So instead of a making a program with several process .you create a program with multi threads .The OS has to be a MultiThread capable .The creation and schedulling of the running of the threads are OS services.
 

a thread is a sequence of instructions executed in the order the programmer intended. -------- see mips run the second edition . p415
