| **Navigation:**  [[glossary index.htm|Glossary Index]] >====== thread ============ In a multi-threaded operating system such as Windows NT, the thread is the basic entity to which the operating system allocates a slice of CPU time. The thread has access to the same code, data, and system resources as the task (program) which started it. Clarion START threads do not receive separate "timeslices" from Windows; the run time library "slices" the Clarion thread and "divides" it among the Clarion START threads. ====== | [[third normal form.htm|{{btn_prev_n.gif|Previous page}}]][[glossary index.htm|{{btn_home_n.gif|Return to chapter overview}}]][[thumb.htm|{{btn_next_n.gif|Next page}}]] |
