Solution

Since multi-processing provides concurrency, what advantage do threads provide?

Multi-processing is the concept of having more than one processor, and thereby running a process by each processor, which means multi-processing. More than one process is being executed at a time by multiple processors. Whereas, threads will run muti-threads of the same process. Here there is no need of multi-processors. Even a single processor can run multiple threads. The advantage with threads is that, they are light-weighed, and will share the memory space. In multi-processing, every process will have their own memory space, whereas, in multi-threading, the same memory space is shared by all the threads who belong to the same process.

Can multiple process programs also be multi-threaded? Yes multi-process programs can also be multi-threaded but should be handled carefully.
