Multithreaded applications

A thread is the path taken, the steps performed, and the order in which the steps are performed by a running program.

The term thread is short for thread of control. A thread runs code from its starting location in an ordered, predefined sequence for a given set of inputs. You can use multiple threads to improve application performance by running different application tasks simultaneously.
