Multithreading Models in OS Explained

The document outlines three multithreading models: Many to One, where multiple threads are mapped to a single kernel thread; One to One, where each user-level thread corresponds to a kernel thread; and Many to Many, which allows multiple user-level threads to be mapped to multiple kernel threads. Examples are provided for each model, including GNU Portable Threads, Linux, Solaris, and Windows NT/2000. These models illustrate different approaches to managing threads in operating systems.

• Multithreading Model

1. Many to One Model


Numerous/multiple threads are mapped to single kernel thread .
e.g. GNU Portable Threads

2. One to One Model


Each user-level thread corresponds to a kernel thread in this approach.
e.g. Threads in Linux, Solaris, Windows NT/XP/2000

3. Many to Many Model


Multiple user level threads are mapped with multiple kernel thread.
e.g. Windows NT/2000
