LWPs are used to convert kernel-level threads to user-level threads in an operating system, and the many-to-many paradigm is applied (light-weight processes). Real-time threads may also be designed by developers for usage in real-time systems. Rather of a LWP, a real-time thread should be attached to a lightweight process. Explain.
Let's assume that LWPs are used to translate kernel-level threads to user-level threads in an operating system, and that the many-to-many paradigm is used (light-weight processes). Developers may also design real-time threads that can be used in real-time systems. Should a real-time thread be tied to a lightweight process rather than a LWP? Explain.
Investigate the mechanism of thread scheduling, as well as the parallels and divergences that exist between processes and threads.
Assume that an operating system maps user-level threads to the kernel using the many-to-many model and that the mapping is done through LWPs (light-weight processes). Furthermore, the system allows developers to create real-time threads for use in real-time systems. Is it necessary to bind a real-time thread to an LWP (light-weight process)? Explain.
When it comes to architecture, operating systems that permit numerous threads confront particular issues that other systems do not.
