Following are the difference between process and threads :

1)Memory_sharing:In multi-threaded program all thread shares same memory space including heap global variable file descriptor .while each process has its own address .

2)Hardware utilization: Process run as a whole on single core of CPU at one time but thread run concurrently on diff core of cpu thereby effectively utilizing resources.

3) communication techniques: Since each Thread shared data segment so they can communicate each other using shred variables while process needs some or more IPC techniques to communicate.

4)Creation overhead:Thread creation is less resources extensive as compared to process because thread shared memory and process context
