Threads are the smallest unit of processing that a scheduler can work, and can have the same resources such as memory, address space, open files. Also called "light weight processes (LWPs).

Threads vs Processes:
* Threads
** executing under the same process share the address space.
** Communication between threads is very fast because they share same address space.

* Processes
** Processes do not share their address space.
** Communication between process is quite difficult and resource intensive.
