simpleIts not that simple....
Kernel-supported threads fall into two classes.
- In a "pure" kernel-supported system, the kernel is responsible for scheduling all threads.
- Systems in which the kernel cooperates with a user-level library to do scheduling are known as two-level, or hybrid, systems. Typically, the kernel schedules LWPs, and the user-level library schedules threads onto LWPs.
