Need of Thread Library
- Thread Library allow us to perform or execute multiple task at the same time, with the help of this functionality we can utilize our CPU and hardware and also improve our performance.
- Even in andorid development their is a concept called Kotlin Coroutines which also work on same concept for performing multiple task at the same time with the help of thread library (dependency) for efficient execution of tasks.
- Thread libraries provide standard way to work with thread over various operating systems and platforms.
- When multiple threads are working together they need data of another threads to performs operations , so in thread library it provides mechanisms like semaphores, mutexes that allow to share data between threads without data stealing/loss.
- They have ability to create new thread within the applications and execute separated by thread.
Thread Libraries
The Operating System is an interface between the user and hardware that enables the interaction of computer hardware and software or it can act as a bridge between the user and the application. It ensures that various software programs can run efficiently and interact with hardware as needed. Some Popular Operating Systems are Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows, and so on. Without an operating system computer is useless.
