only scheduler

[neofrkh]

I need comments on the statement:
" a kernel which only schedules threads but not process"

[Craze Frog]

My comment is: bad grammar.

a kernel which only schedules threads but not process

...your point?

[iammisc]

I don't get it, don't all kernels do this? My kernel schedules threads, it has no concept of processes. Of course it is a microkernel so other kernel types might have different methods.

What exactly is the question?

[pcmattman]

IMO the definition of a process is a set of threads - and a scheduler should have no idea what a "process" is, but rather just find the next thread to run.

Counter question:
What's the difference between threads and process ?

{ Although in linux both process and thread are nearly the same , threads are implemeted as processes }

A process is an address space, handles (files/graphics/device/etc) and a list of threads IDs.
A thread is an execution context which runs in a process. It is a list of register values, a priority and a process ID.
