Difference between "threads" in single core and multi_core CPU ?
by jan128 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CBM7)
I just run into a tutorial describing processes run in multicore CPU as "threads". Not sure I buy that.
Hence what are the accepted terms of TECHNICAL descriptions / differences between
single code CPU running "threads" (used to be just "thread" )
multicore CPU running " ...what... in each core ?"
multicore CPU running in specific core " ...what... multi ... "
what is a basic "process " - in general terms or specifically in multicore CPU ?
Does "process " = "thread" ?
