Solaris threads are implemented as a user-level library, using the kernel's threads of control, that are called light-weight processes (LWPs). In the Solaris environment, a process is a collection of LWPs that share memory. Each LWP has the scheduling priority of a UNIX process and shares the resources of that process. LWPs coordinate their access to the shared memory by using synchronization mechanisms such as locks. An LWP can be thought of as a virtual CPU that executes code or system calls. The threads library schedules threads on a pool of LWPs in the process, in much the same way as the kernel schedules LWPs on a pool of processors. Each LWP is independently dispatched by the kernel, performs independent system calls, incurs independent page faults, and runs in parallel on a multiprocessor system. The LWPs are scheduled by the kernel onto the available CPU resources according to their scheduling class and priority.

Industry:Computer
Software that provides services to access the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet. A Web server hosts Web sites, provides support for HTTP and other protocols, and executes server-side programs (such as CGI scripts or servlets) that perform certain functions. In the J2EE architecture, a Web server provides services to a Web container. For example, a Web container typically relies on a Web server to provide HTTP message handling. The J2EE architecture assumes that a Web container is hosted by a Web server from the same vendor, so it does not specify the contract between these two entities. A Web server can host one or more Web containers.
