Is it really? To clarify, LinuxThreads has one thread per process; IBM's NGPT has multiple threads per process, but still multiple processes. I was under the impression that Solaris LWPs would have all threads in one process. (except of course the terminology gets fuzzy here. One "process" in Solaris includes multiple LWPs which can be executing at the same time. If my understanding above is correct it might be more appropriate to call Solaris one-thread-per-LWP). -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
