поток, проф. тред1) логическое соединение между клиентом и сервером, по которому пересылаются запросы2) порождённый процесс, поток, проф. тредв многозадачной системе тред - способ разделения вычислений на параллельные процессы и базовая единица диспетчеризации (единица исполнения) в современных ОС. Процесс - единица распределения ресурсов системы - может иметь несколько тредов (если ОС поддерживает многопоточность), исполняющихся одновременно и выполняющих различные задания. Например, в Windows при запуске приложение создаёт основной тред (main thread), который, в свою очередь, также может создавать другие треды для таких операций, как фоновая печать, ожидание событий и т. д. Таким образом, треды исполняются асинхронно, но делят между собой общее адресное пространство. Когда поток (тред) выполнил своё задание, он может быть приостановлен или уничтожен. Потоки иногда характеризуются своим весом - т. е. количеством контекстной информации, которую необходимо сохранять для потока (и соответственно, временем сохранения), чтобы система могла обращаться к ней в течение его жизни, Так, для UNIX-процесса время сохранения контекста составляет тысячи микросекунд, подобный тред считается тяжеловесным (heavyweight thread); для треда ядра ОС это время уменьшается до сотен микросекунд, и тред рассматривается как средневесный (middleweight thread); а треды уровня пользователя являются легковесными (lightweight thread), поскольку для них время сохранения контекста - всего десятки микросекунд.On the other hand, if too many threads exist, some tasks will spend a significant amount of time in the idle position. — С другой стороны, если потоков слишком много, некоторые задачи будут значительное время находиться в состоянии ожидания см. тж. child thread, execution thread, kthreads, multitasking, multithreading, parent thread, scheduling, superthreading, thread group, thread ID, thread migration, thread package, thread time, thread variable
