          • 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

          • Definition(s)
            • マルチスレッドとは、1つのアプリケーションソフトがスレッドと呼ばれる処理単位を複数生成し、並行して複数の処理を行なうこと。いわばアプリケーションソフト内でのマルチタスク処理。マルチタスクと同じように、CPUの処理時間を非常に短い単位に分割し、複数のスレッドに順番に割り当てることによって、複数の処理を同時に行っているようにみせている。 e-Words - by Ben Jones
