Group 7
Let us start out by listing down our names and email id (preffered).

Guidelines
Raw info should have some indication of where you got it for citation.
Claim your info so we don't need to dig for who got what when we need clarification.
Feel free to provide info for or edit someone else's info, just keep their signature so we can discuss changes
sign changes (once) preferably without time stamps Ex: -Rannath
Essay Rough
Start by placing the info here so we can sort through it. I'm going to go into full research/essay writing mode on Sunday if there isn't enough here.
So far I have: Three design choices I've seen:
- Smallest possible footprint per-thread (being extremely light weight) - from everywhere --Rannath 00:28, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- least number (none if at all possible) of context switches per-thread - some linux implementation --Rannath 00:28, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- use of a "thread pool" - java picothreads article --Rannath 00:28, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
The idea is to reduce processor time and storage needed per-thread so you can have more in the same amount of space.--Rannath 00:28, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Things that we need to cover in the essay:--Gautam 19:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
(A)Design Decisions
1. Type of threading (1:1 M:N) 2. Signal handling 3. Synchronisation 4. Memory Handling
(B)Kernel (?)
