    This document discusses threads and multithreading in operating systems. It covers threading models like many-to-one, one-to-one and many-to-many. It also discusses specific threading implementations for POSIX Pthreads, Solaris, Windows 2000, Linux and Java. Key threading issues are also summarized like fork, exec, signals and thread pools.

    Chapter 5: Threads

     Overview
     Multithreading Models
     Threading Issues
     Pthreads
     Solaris 2 Threads
     Windows 2000 Threads
     Linux Threads
     Java Threads

    Operating System Concepts 5.1 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Single and Multithreaded
    Processes

    Operating System Concepts 5.2 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Benefits

     Responsiveness

     Resource Sharing

     Economy

     Utilization of MP Architectures

    Operating System Concepts 5.3 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    User Threads

     Thread management done by user-level


    threads library

     Examples
    - POSIX Pthreads
    - Mach C-threads
    - Solaris threads

    Operating System Concepts 5.4 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Kernel Threads

     Supported by the Kernel

     Examples
    - Windows 95/98/NT/2000
    - Solaris
    - Tru64 UNIX
    - BeOS
    - Linux

    Operating System Concepts 5.5 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Multithreading Models

     Many-to-One

     One-to-One

     Many-to-Many

    Operating System Concepts 5.6 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Many-to-One

     Many user-level threads mapped to single


    kernel thread.

     Used on systems that do not support kernel


    threads.

    Operating System Concepts 5.7 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Many-to-One Model

    Operating System Concepts 5.8 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    One-to-One

     Each user-level thread maps to kernel thread.

     Examples
    - Windows 95/98/NT/2000
    - OS/2

    Operating System Concepts 5.9 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    One-to-one Model

    Operating System Concepts 5.10 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Many-to-Many Model

     Allows many user level threads to be mapped


    to many kernel threads.
     Allows the operating system to create a
    sufficient number of kernel threads.
     Solaris 2
     Windows NT/2000 with the ThreadFiber
    package

    Operating System Concepts 5.11 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Many-to-Many Model

    Operating System Concepts 5.12 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Threading Issues

     Semantics of fork() and exec() system calls.


     Thread cancellation.
     Signal handling
     Thread pools
     Thread specific data

    Operating System Concepts 5.13 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Pthreads

     a POSIX standard (IEEE 1003.1c) API for


    thread creation and synchronization.
     API specifies behavior of the thread library,
    implementation is up to development of the
    library.
     Common in UNIX operating systems.

    Operating System Concepts 5.14 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Solaris 2 Threads

    Operating System Concepts 5.15 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Solaris Process

    Operating System Concepts 5.16 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Windows 2000 Threads

     Implements the one-to-one mapping.


     Each thread contains
    - a thread id
    - register set
    - separate user and kernel stacks
    - private data storage area

    Operating System Concepts 5.17 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Linux Threads

     Linux refers to them as tasks rather than


    threads.
     Thread creation is done through clone()
    system call.
     Clone() allows a child task to share the
    address space of the parent task (process)

    Operating System Concepts 5.18 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Java Threads

     Java threads may be created by:

     Extending Thread class


     Implementing the Runnable interface

     Java threads are managed by the JVM.

    Operating System Concepts 5.19 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002


    Java Thread States
