Program Thread 和 Process的不同点

• Thread is for execution
  • Kernel level thread, physical parallelism
    • Cores Divide work amount of physical cores / CPU
    • Load balancing
    • Data Splitting
      • Which will lead to data dependency coodination and message passing
    • Bad thing for multiple cores is this is hard for Testing and debugging
  • User level thread only have logical parallelism
    • Example, Read from user input is blocking; we have to work on it to make it logical parallelism
• Process is for resource

What is Program

Program是一个存在disk中且断电或重启不会消失可执行文件，存储在存储媒介中，以实体文件的形态存在

A program is an executable file residing on the disk (secondary storage) in a directory. It is also termed as a set of instructions stored in the secondary storage device that are intended to carry out a specific job. It is read into the primary memory and executed by the kernel.

或者可以称之为persistently 的文件，断电也不会消失。

What is Process ?

当program被执行之后，就变成了进程。执行者的权限和程序所需的资料都会载入到内存中，OS会给予这些内存单元一个pid。

Unit of resource ownership (allocation) and unit of protection

text， Code of Programmer

Data

Heap

Stack

一个program可以创建出很多个进程，关机或停电会死掉

Process的组成

• Permission user or kernel
• Priority
• Files
• ID
  • PID
  • PPID
  • Folk
  • UserID
• Protected access to
  • Processors
  • other process
  • Files
  • I/O
• A virtual space that holds the process image

What is Thread ?

线程称之为Lightweight Process，一个进程可以有多个线程，他们共享一片内存

• has access to the same data
  • When one thread alters a data, other threads see the results
  • When one thread open a file, other threads can also access that file.

Unit of dispatch or unit of execution

多线程的好处

• 开启线程要快于开启进程
• 关闭线程要快于关闭进程
• 切换线程要快于切换进程
• 线程可以相互通讯

什么叫Multithreading

The ability of an OS to support multiple, concurrent paths of execution within a single process.

Process and thread states

• Ready
  • new process usually set as read state
  • At this time scheduler is not pick it up yet.
    • If it get picked by scheduler and running in CPU, then goes to Running State
    • If it get external event, something like lock, then goes to block
• Running,
  • Scheduler picked it up, and CPU is run this instruction
    • If it get finished, goes to Exit states
    • If it get IO interrupts, goes to ready, blocked status
    • If it can not get the resource which is conflict with other process, goes to deadlock
• Block
  • If it lock (wait able ) is release, or IO is completed, then goes to Ready
• Deadlock
• Exit (Zombie State)
  • When process is finished, waiting for cleaning up

How Deadlock happen ?

• When process A has resource a, and it need resource b from process B.
• At the same time, process B need resource a from A
• Then those process gonna have deadlock due to both of them can get the resource they need.
