A process contains two kinds of information: resources that are available to the entire process such as program instructions, global data and working directory, and schedulable entities, which include program counters and stacks. A thread is an entity within a process that consists of the schedulable part of the process.

A thread (an example of a lightweight process) which has the following properties:
1.Resources and data can be shared between threads
2.Each thread has its own stack
3.Context switching is fast

1. Context switch means change from one process to another process.
2. Process is private, threads share address space and file table, so they need synchronization primitives to ensure consistency.
