What is the primary difference between user threads and kernel threads?
What is the primary difference between user threads and kernel threads?
- User threads are used for I/O-bound operations, while kernel threads are used for CPU-bound operations.
- User threads are managed by a user-level threads library, while kernel threads are supported by the kernel. (correct)
- User threads are supported by the kernel, while kernel threads are managed by a user-level threads library.
- User threads are used for parallel processing, while kernel threads are used for sequential processing.
What is the primary advantage of the Many-to-Many multithreading model?
What is the primary advantage of the Many-to-Many multithreading model?
- It allows for more concurrency than the One-to-One model.
- It allows many user-level threads to be mapped to a single kernel thread.
- It allows the operating system to create a sufficient number of kernel threads. (correct)
- It is more efficient in terms of memory usage.
What is the primary characteristic of the One-to-One multithreading model?
What is the primary characteristic of the One-to-One multithreading model?
- Each user-level thread maps to multiple kernel threads.
- Multiple user-level threads map to a single kernel thread.
- Kernel threads are not supported in this model.
- Each user-level thread maps to a single kernel thread. (correct)
