Thread & Parallel

Thread

A process is an executing program. An operating system uses processes to separate the applications that are being executed. A thread is the basic unit to which an operating system allocates processor time. 

It is for long-running background work

Thread thread = new Thread(() => {

    // Your code here

});

thread.Start();

Parallel Programming

Parallel programming in .NET is typically done using the Parallel class, which splits tasks into multiple concurrent operations to use multi-core processors more efficiently. 

Parallel.For(0, 100, i => {

    // Parallelized code here

});
