Some parts of an operating system are essential.
One of them is threads, which provide the ability to execute code.
Hi, my name is Pavel, and welcome to my course,
Windows 11 Internals: Threads. In this course, we'll dig deeper into threads,
see what they are, how they work,
how they are scheduled on processors, and other interesting aspects of threads.
Specifically, in this first module,
we'll take a look at processes and see where threads fit in
first to make sure we have the proper background, and then
we look at what a thread is.
Eventually, threads are an abstraction over processors.
So it's very important to understand how processors fit into the picture
and what's the connection between threads and processors.
Looking at processors not really specific to Windows, it's the
same idea for any kind of operating system,
but still very important to understand some aspects of
hardware to better understand threads.
So let's begin by looking at where threads fit into the process picture.
