- Definition(s)
- Multithreading typically refers to sharing a single CPU between multiple tasks (or "threads") in a way designed to minimise the time required to switch threads. This is accomplished by sharing as much as possible of the program execution environment between the different threads so that very little state needs to be saved and restored when changing thread. Multiple threads can be executed in parallel on many computer systems. This multithreading generally occurs by time slicing, wherein a single processor switches between different threads--in which case the processing is not literally "simultaneous", for the single processor is only really doing one thing at a time. On a multiprocessor system, threading can be achieved via multiprocessing, wherein different threads can run simultaneously on different processors. www.NetworkDictionary.com

- The design of the Java language makes multithreading essential for all but the simplest applets. In particular, IO and GUI programming both require multithreading to provide a seamless experience for the user. - IBM by
- On a multi-processor computer, multithreading is implemented with a mixture of time-slicing and genuine concurrency – where different threads run code simultaneously on different CPUs. - O'Reilly Media by
- Multithreading requires careful programming. For most tasks, you can reduce complexity by queuing requests for execution by thread pool threads. - Microsoft Corporation by

- Egy számítógépen párhuzamosan több szál is futhat (multithreading); ekkor több program futtatását végzi egy vagy több processzor. Wiki - by Miklós Monostory
- Example sentence(s)
- A végrehajtási szál (angolul thread) az informatikában valamilyen szekvenciálisan végrehajtható utasítás-sorozat.
A legtöbb modern operációs rendszer már rendszerszinten biztosítja ezt a felületet. Egy számítógépen párhuzamosan több szál is futhat (multithreading); ekkor több program futtatását végzi egy vagy több processzor. Ha a futtatott szálak száma meghaladja a processzorok számát, a processzor idejét el kell osztani a szálak között. Ezen az időosztást is többnyire az operációs rendszerek végzik. - Wikipédia by Miklós Monostory

- Izvajanje programov ali procesov v več nitih, ki se lahko hkrati izvajajo v različnih procesorjih oz. jedrih procesorja. Own research - by Milan Bedrač
- Example sentence(s)
- Večnitnost v operacijskih sistemih (Samo Dečman) (650 kB) - Fri.uni-lj.si by Milan Bedrač
- V sistemih z več procesorji kakršne najdemo v strežnikih in računalnikih za znanstvene izračune pa se večnitno programiranje uveljavlja že dalj časa. Operacijski sistem lahko ob uporabi več niti vsako nit razporedi na svoj procesor in tako zagotovi polno izrabo računskih kapacitet. - Fri.uni-lj.si by Milan Bedrač
