Compare and contrast thread dispatching in kernel-level threads and in user-level threads.
What will be an ideal response?
In kernel-level threads, dispatching is performed by the operating system. In most cases, the operating system will dispatch threads in a similar manner to processes. In user- level threads, dispatching is performed by the user-level library. The user-level library’s thread scheduler can be tuned to schedule its threads more efficiently than the operating system.
