Multithreading
Multithreading is a programming concept that allows multiple threads of execution to run concurrently within a single process, enabling parallel task execution and improved performance on multi-core systems. It involves creating and managing threads, which are lightweight sub-processes that share the same memory space, to handle tasks like I/O operations, background processing, or real-time computations efficiently.
Developers should learn multithreading to build responsive and high-performance applications, especially in scenarios involving concurrent operations such as web servers handling multiple client requests, GUI applications maintaining user interactivity during long-running tasks, or data processing systems leveraging multi-core CPUs for faster computations. It is essential for optimizing resource utilization and reducing latency in modern software.
