Abstract :
The genesis and the rationale of the idea of multithread processes are analyzed, and the following related issues are discussed: support of different granularities of parallelism, explicit vs. implicit intrathreads synchronization, kernel vs. user support of threads, relations with the object-oriented paradigm, relations with remote procedure calls (RPCs) and distributed systems, and relations with open systems. The focus is on the application of multithread processes in real-time systems and on the way parallelism can be better exploited in these systems
