In Linux, which of the following will provide a better solution and why?
Multithreaded solution using multiple kernel threads or single threaded solution on a single processor system.
Hi Barb, the one to one models allows for greater concurrency, but the developer must be careful not to create many threads. The many- to–many models suffer neither from this shortcoming. The developer can create as many user threads as necessary and the corresponding kernel can run in parallel on a multiprocessors.Â
It depends on your need, what is the best for you. If you choose multi thread solution, it allows a single program to divide it's works in between several processors, this will run faster than a single threaded program which run on only one processor at a time. Multi threading generally occurs by time-division multiplexing(multi-tasking) the processor switch between different thread.
