Green Thread and its importance

[Dhanu Dhanu]

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE THE CONCEPT OF "Green Thread" and its importance. If possible, give me the URL to have a clear idea. Thanx in advance

What's wrong with Google "green thread"? The first hits gave exactly what you wanted.

[Naseem Khan]

Green threads are those threads which are scheduled by JVM iteself not by operating system.

On windows NT plateform, threads are scheduled by operating system itself, called native scheduling.

whereas, on unix plateform threads are scheduled by green thread scheduling.

On google you can find lots of good link...

Hello Dhanu Dhanu-

Welcome to JavaRanch.

On your way in you may have missed that JavaRanch has a policy on display names, and yours does not comply with it; specifically, a first name and a last name are required. Please adjust it accordingly, which you can do right here. Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter.

And please, don't shout at us in all uppercase letters. It's considered quite impolite all over the 'net.

Also, don't believe everything you read here. The Green threads library is not used by any modern UNIX JVMs; support was largely dropped in JDK 1.4, over 4 years ago.

Thanks Friedman for updating me. Actually I read that in one java thread book.

Thanks & Regards

Naseem
