The first one is a good example of multi-threading because the CPU has to execute different tasks within the same programme.
In the second example, the spreadsheet is a program and the calculator is another program and “jumping” or “switching” between two programs is called multi-tasking.

Yes. A computer with a dual core processor can easily perform

Is the word “multi” used in all the terms because more than one task is processed or executed?
Correct!
• Multi-tasking: more than one programme is executed.
• Multi-threading: more than one thread is executed.
• Multi-processing: more than one processor is executing programmes and/or threads.

When the CPU has to execute a thread, it first has to load the registers with the
appropriate data for the thread.
This process is repeated every time the CPU swaps between threads, in other words when it’s implementing multi-
threading.

Intel processors that implement hyper-threading have an extra set of registers so that the data
does not need to be loaded into the same set of registers and can be accessed immediately by
the other thread.
This saves a lot of time and the operating system is “fooled” into believing that there is a second processor core when there isn’t actually one.
