Location

Kroghstræde 3, rum 1.104

Time

Subject

A thread is a separate branch of execution and it is the unit being scheduled by the operating system. Multithreading is designed in to the core of the Java languange and not an add on library like in C++. This makes it a lot easier to use multiple threads. These are typically used in GUI building to get a more responsive interface and in network computing to share resources. Network computing is not covered in this course, but the book covers it in Chapter 15 "Distributed Computing".

Readings

Chapter 14 in the book "Multiple Threads".
