The ability of an operating system to execute different parts of a program, "called threads", simultaneously is called multithreading. The programmer must carefully design the program in such a way that all the threads can run at the same time without interfering with each other. Multithreading aims to increase utilization of a single core by using thread-level as well as instruction-level parallelism.
