Programming with threads is useful for structuring programs, performance enhancement through concurrency and overlapping I/O, and making client/server interaction more efficient (it increases programming complexity). Some things that need to be addressed when programming with threads are:

  • Creation and management of threads.

  • Threads synchronization and communication.

  • Threads scheduling.

  • Error handling

A traditional non-threaded process has a single thread of control, started and terminated with the process. Multi-threaded programs require that threads be created and terminated explicitly.

The HP e3000 Kernel Threads provide basic thread creation and management routines.
