Question

(TCO 2) Which technique generally makes more efficient use of system resources?

Correct answer is Multithreading.

Answer 1

Multithreading is the best technique which uses system resources efficiently this is because of the following reasons

1. Enhances responsiveness - multithreading enhances the responsiveness of the system by considering different independent activities as a thread , so that they can be run simultaneously.For example two independent activities that do not require acknowledgement from each other can be done simultaneously.

2. Scalability - simultaneous processing of activities require multiple number of course and processors. When multithreading is present the distribution of different processes is made possible by scaling them to different cpus cores.

3. Structure - in many of the programs the whole structure is given to a single processor or a CPU but why multithreading the program structure is divided into certain parts and then given to different cpus by this, time required to process the program is less and the structure of the program also improves as the code appears simplified.

4. Sharing - resource sharing is another benefit of using multithreading by sharing the resources to different Cpu cores, the the utilisation of resources is made more efficient.
