tailieunhanh - Lecture Operating system concepts - Lecture 6

In previous chapter, we introduced threads to the process model. On operating systems that support them, it is kernel-level threads not processes that are in fact being scheduled by the operating system. However, the terms "process scheduling" and "thread scheduling" are often used interchangeably. In this chapter, we use process scheduling when discussing general scheduling concepts and thread scheduling to refer to thread-specific ideas. |
