Processes: Distributed Systems Principles and Paradigms

The document discusses processes and threads in distributed systems, explaining that threads are virtual processors in software that run on top of physical processors and allow stopping the current execution and continuing it later, while a process contains one or more threads. It provides examples of creating and running threads in Java and how they allow concurrency by executing code simultaneously through examples that print output from multiple threads.

Threads

thread: virtual processors )VP( in software, on top of


physical processors

VP: set of instructions

stopping the current VP and saving all the data


.needed to continue the execution at a later stage

Process: actual software processor threads
lightweight process = thread
