1
What's the difference between process and thread?
2
This is a common interview question.
3
Let's take a look.
4
To better answer this question, let's first understand what a program is.
5
A program is an executable file.
6
It contains the code or a set of processing instructions that is stored as a file on disk.
7
When the code in the program is loaded into memory and executed by the processor, it becomes a process.
8
An active process also includes the resources the program needs to run.
9
These resources are managed by the operating system.
10
Some examples are processor registers, program counters, stack pointers, memory pages assigned to the process for its heap and stack,
11
etc. There is an important property of a process that is worth mentioning.
12
Each process has its own memory address space.
13
One process cannot corrupt the memory space of another process.
14
This means that when one process malfunctions, other processes keep running.
15
Chrome is famous for taking advantage of this process isolation by running each tab in its own process.
16
When one tab misbehaves due to a bug or a malicious attack, other tabs are unaffected.
17
Now what is a thread?
18
A thread is the unit of execution within a process.
19
A process has at least one thread.
20
It is called the main thread.
21
It is not uncommon for a process to have many threads.
22
Each thread has its own stack.
23
Earlier we mentioned registers, program counters, and stack pointers as being part of a process.
24
It is more accurate to say that those things belong to a thread.
25
Threads within a process share a memory address space.
26
It is possible to communicate between threads using that shared memory space.
27
However, one misbehaving thread could bring down the entire process.
28
How does the operating system run a thread or process on a CPU?
29
This is handled by context switching.
30
During a context switch, one process is switched out of the CPU so another process can run.
31
The operating system stores the states of the current running process, so the process can be restored and resume execution at a later point.
32
It then restores the previously saved states of a different process and resumes execution for that process.
33
Contact switching is expensive.
34
It involves saving and loading of registers, switching out memory pages, and updating various kernel data structures.
35
Switching execution between threads also requires context switching.
36
It is generally faster to switch context between threads than between processes.
37
There are fewer states to track, and more importantly, since threads share the same memory address space,
38
there is no need to switch out virtual memory pages, which is one of the more expensive operations during a context switch.
39
Contact switching is so costly, there are other mechanisms to try to minimize it, some examples of fibers and coroutines.
40
These mechanisms trace complexity for even lower contact switching cost.
41
In general, they are cooperatively scheduled, that is, they must yield control for others to run.
42
In other words, the application itself handles task scheduling.
43
It is the responsibility of the application to make sure a long -running task is broken up by yielding periodically.
44
This concludes our discussion of process and threads.

Thank you so much and we'll see you next time.

Pronúncia para ficar de olho

  • Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: execution /ˌɛk.sɪˈkjuː.ʃən/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, isolation /ˌaɪsəˈleɪʃən/, malicious /məˈlɪʃəs/, malfunction /ˌmælˈfʌŋk.ʃən/
  • Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: execution /ˌɛk.sɪˈkjuː.ʃən/, mechanism /ˈmɛk.ə.nɪ.zəm/, communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/, complexity /kəmˈplɛk.sɪ.ti/

Sons difíceis para falantes de português:

  • Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: thread /ˈθɹɛd/, stack /stæk/, yield /jiːld/, communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, corrupt /kəˈɹʌpt/
  • /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: virtual /ˈvɜɹt͡ʃuəl/, kernel /ˈkɝ.nəl/, executable /ˈɛksəkjutəbl/

Como praticar com este vídeo

  1. Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
  2. Comece na velocidade 0,75×, faça shadowing frase por frase e volte à velocidade normal quando ficar fácil.
  3. Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como thread, execution, stack.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
