1. threads

   Threads are the smallest units of execution within a program, consisting of sequences of instructions that can be independently scheduled by an operating system. Threads allow for concurrent execution of multiple tasks within a single process, enabling parallelism and efficient utilization of system resources. Each thread typically has its own set of registers, stack, and program counter, allowing it to operate independently while sharing data and resources with other threads within the same process. Threads can be used to perform complex tasks simultaneously, enhance responsiveness in user interfaces, and improve overall performance by maximizing CPU usage.

1. Threads

   Threads is a British television drama produced by the BBC in 1984. Written by Barry Hines and directed by Mick Jackson, it is a documentary-style account of a nuclear war and its effects on the city of Sheffield in northern England. Filmed in late 1983 and early 1984, the primary plot centres on two families, the Kemps and the Becketts, as an international crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union erupts and escalates. As the United Kingdom prepares for war, the members of each family deal with their own personal crises. Meanwhile, a secondary plot centered upon Clive J. Sutton, the Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council serves to illustrate for the viewer the United Kingdom government's then-current continuity of government arrangements. As open warfare between NATO and the USSR-led Warsaw Pact begins, the harrowing details of the characters' struggle to survive the attacks is dramatically depicted. The balance of the story details the fate of each family as the characters face the medical, economic, social, and environmental consequences of a nuclear war.
