(especially in point of view of using processors)

Thanks,

0	Multitasking - Tasks sharing a common resource same as like 1cpu Multithreading -It provides a way to have more than one thread executing in the same process. whereas allowing every thread access to the same memory address space. This allows very fast communication among threads. ------------------------------------------------ Learn throughout life Leila, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Multitasking: Many task running simultaneously at a time Multithreading: A single process is broken logically, executed simultaneously, and the results are combined at the end of processing. --------------------------------------- Live the life you've dreamed Regards MADHU Leila, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Multitasking : In computing, multitasking is a method by which multiple tasks, also known as processes, share common processing resources such as a CPU. With a multitasking OS, such as Windows XP, you can simultaneously run multiple applications. Multitasking refers to the ability of the OS to quickly switch between each computing task to give the impression the different applications are executing multiple actions simultaneously. MultiThreading : Multithreading extends the idea of multitasking into applications, so you can subdivide specific operations within a single application into individual threads. Each of the threads can run in parallel. The OS divides processing time not only among different applications, but also among each thread within an application. ____________ www.flickr.com/photos/psdesigner/ Leila, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Thank you for your response. Can I say taht when I use multithreading, one processor is used while when using parallel tasks more than a processor (2 processors for dual core CPU) work, so I can see 2 tasks working at the same tick which can't be seen in the thread???

0	For example, consider "Intel Xeon Nehalem-EX" processor which has got 8 cores and 16 threads, where each core has 2 logical cores for a total of 16 logical cores allowing the execution of 16 application threads on a single processor. --------------------------------------- Live the life you've dreamed Regards MADHU Leila, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Multitasking : In your pc if you are running more than 1 application at a time it is multi tasking like playing games and listening songs at the same time. Multithreading is an internal process. Like (its just an example) while writing a word document one thread will be checking the spelling another will help in formating like that. ____________ www.flickr.com/photos/psdesigner/ Leila, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
