Is it possible for a parent process to wait for the termination of his child process and then to continue working on his own task? How can it be done using threads where a thread could be bound to wait for the termination of another thread and then continue working on his task.

Is it even feasible to have a deadlock if there is just one process that is using a single thread? Please elaborate on your response.
Is it possible, in your opinion, for a single threaded process to get deadlocked without affecting any other threads? If you could elaborate on your answer in the following sentence, that would be great.
What is the difference between a thread running in user mode and a thread running in the kernel? Do any advantages exist that one species may have over another?
Why is it advantageous that, in a system with cooperative multithreading, two threads communicate with each other not directly, but via the event queue? What would be the disadvantage of direct communication
Discuss the concept of thread pools and their benefits in managing threads in a concurrent application. Provide a real-world scenario where thread pools would be useful.
To what end are threads referred to be "light-weight"? Are there any more resources used when a new thread is started on a computer? Do they differ from the procedures that are established?
Here, a solution that uses a single thread is preferable than one that uses several threads.
What are the distinctions between a thread operating in user mode and a thread operating in the kernel mode? Is there a preferred species that we may choose from?
The following question is related to Threading Task-1: Write a c program that creates 5 threads and prints which thread is running and after the thread is closed, a new thread starts its execution. Each thread should run sequentially one by one. OUTPUT: thread-1 running thread-1 closed thread-2 running thread-2 closed
design a java program that implements thread priority based on setPriority() method using different level of priority for two threads .Both these threads donot run on preemptive platform in the same way.Thus,prioritize the threads by running each thread for few seconds.After this main thread stops this thread.Moreover, the program should display the no of times each thread made it through the loop is displayed
Introducing thread in your program is a great strategy to utilize the computer system. However, thread programming is not trivial and often requires to synchronize the concurrent tasks running in different threads. Based on the aforementioned information and your acquired knowledge about the multithreading in Java, answer the following questions: Suppose that you are implementing a java program for a task that can be divided into three subtasks - T1, T2, and T3. Here, T1 and T2 can be executed independently, however, T3 has data dependency on both T1 and T2. What will ensure the fastest execution of your program? Describe your strategy to implement the aforementioned program that ensures the maximum possible utilization of the computer system resources? Suppose that you have a computer system with three CPU cores. Draw a pictorial presentation of the threads to solve the following arithmetic equation that ensures the maximum utilization of the computer system resources.
Is there any justification for calling threads "lightweight" processes? Does the creation of a thread cause a different allocation of system resources? Are they different from what was used to pioneer the method?
